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 could be asked for free-sale certificates and origin documentation, especially for beverages.
For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to list realistic replacement values of your beverages and note your packing methods, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.
