Moisture-sensitive snacks demands moisture-resistant inner packaging such as laminated liners inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding drying agents and using moisture-warning labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.
You may ship dry food and bottled drinks together if all items are securely packed and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. Most carriers recommend using cell partitions for liquid items so that any leak does not damage surrounding dry food.
Most international shipments of processed food will require detailed invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of beverages, you might also need free-sale certificates and certificates of origin, especially for animal-derived ingredients.
For processed food with medium fragility and mixed dry food and bottled drinks, insurance providers typically recommend all-risks freight insurance that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to list realistic replacement values of your snacks and record how goods are packed, as insurers may assess packaging quality when processing claims.
Most shelf-stable food and standard beverages are shipped in standard dry vans as long as you protect from temperature extremes. Most carriers recommend 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 should be stored in a temperature-controlled environment to prevent spoilage and contamination. It is important to ensure that packaging is robust to withstand the rigors of ocean transport, including potential exposure to moisture and salt. Additionally, proper labeling is essential for customs clearance and to comply with health regulations.
Exporters must comply with the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) regulations, which include obtaining necessary permits and certifications for food safety. Documentation such as a phytosanitary certificate and a certificate of origin may also be required. It's essential to ensure that the packaged food meets Brazil's labeling and ingredient standards.
