Moisture-sensitive snacks necessitates moisture-resistant inner packaging such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding silica gel and using clear handling labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.
You may ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if all items are properly cushioned and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using separate inner boxes for liquid items so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding Snacks.
Most international shipments of processed food typically need detailed invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you might also need manufacturer declarations and origin documentation, especially for animal-derived ingredients.
For processed food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, insurance providers typically recommend comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to accurately declare values of your beverages and record how goods are packed, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.
Most shelf-stable 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 heat sensitivity, especially for sensitive beverages, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.
Packaged food should be stored in a temperature-controlled environment during transit to maintain product integrity. Additionally, it is important to ensure proper ventilation and secure packaging to prevent damage from moisture and movement during the journey.
Shipments of packaged food must comply with Brazil's ANVISA regulations, which include obtaining necessary import permits and ensuring that all products are labeled according to Brazilian standards. Documentation such as a phytosanitary certificate may also be required, depending on the nature of the food products.
