You may ship dry food and bottled drinks together if every unit is properly cushioned and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using separate inner boxes for Bottled drinks so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding packaged groceries.

Most international shipments of processed food will require itemized invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you might also need Health certificates and origin documentation, especially for Bottled drinks.

For processed food with medium fragility and mixed dry food and bottled drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to Declare the full value of your beverages and Document packaging standards, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most shelf-stable food and standard beverages are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you protect from temperature extremes. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on heat sensitivity, especially for Chocolate snacks, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be stored in a dry, cool environment to maintain its shelf stability during transit. It is essential to ensure that the cargo is properly sealed and protected from moisture and contamination. Additionally, compliance with food safety standards is crucial throughout the shipping process.
