Shipping Bottled Drinks from Santos to Shanghai via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food necessitates waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding silica gel and using “Keep Dry” labels on all ambient food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You are allowed to ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if every unit is properly cushioned and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using Dividers for beverages so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding packaged groceries.

Most international shipments of packaged groceries typically need itemized invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you might also need manufacturer declarations and Proof of origin, especially for beverages.

For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to accurately declare values of your Packaged groceries and note your packing methods, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most processed food and standard snacks are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you protect from temperature extremes. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on Maximum storage temperature, especially for oil-based dry food, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be stored in a temperature-controlled environment during transit to prevent spoilage. It is essential to ensure that the cargo is well-secured to avoid damage and contamination. Additionally, proper labeling indicating that the cargo is food-related is required to facilitate customs clearance.

Shipments of packaged food from Brazil to China must comply with both Brazilian export regulations and Chinese import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certificates, ensuring that products meet Chinese food safety standards, and providing accurate documentation such as invoices and certificates of origin.

We rely on in-house customs brokerage with automation to reduce errors and accelerate clearance, rather than outsourcing to third-party brokers with outdated, manual documentation processes.
