Shipping Processed Food from Sanshui to Montreal via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive Dry food demands moisture-resistant inner packaging such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding silica gel and using moisture-warning labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You Can ship dry food and bottled drinks together if all items are properly cushioned and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using cell partitions for liquid items so that any leak does not damage surrounding dry food.

Most international shipments of Ambient food will require detailed invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you could be asked for manufacturer declarations and certificates of origin, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For Packaged food with medium fragility and mixed dry food and bottled drinks, insurance providers typically recommend comprehensive cargo cover that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to accurately declare values of your snacks and record how goods are packed, as insurers may assess packaging quality when processing claims.

Most Ambient food and standard beverages are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on temperature limits, especially for sensitive beverages, and planning transit to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be properly sealed and stored in a temperature-controlled environment during transit to prevent spoilage. Additionally, it is essential to ensure that the cargo is secured to prevent movement that could damage packaging.

The shipment of packaged food requires compliance with Canadian food safety regulations, including obtaining permits and ensuring that products meet Health Canada's standards. Proper labeling and documentation, such as the Certificate of Origin and import licenses, are also necessary for customs clearance.
