Shipping Shelf-stable Food from Suape to Shekou via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive snacks Requires moisture-resistant inner packaging such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding drying agents and using clear handling labels on all ambient food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You may ship Snacks and beverages together if all items are properly cushioned and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. Most carriers recommend using separate inner boxes for beverages so that any leak does not damage surrounding Snacks.

Most international shipments of processed food Require detailed 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 processed food with medium fragility and mixed Snacks and beverages, insurance providers typically recommend 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 assess packaging quality when processing claims.

Most shelf-stable food and standard Bottled drinks Can be shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. Most carriers recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on heat sensitivity, especially for oil-based dry food, and planning transit 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. Additionally, it should be secured to avoid damage during ocean freight, and proper ventilation should be ensured to maintain product integrity.

All packaged food must comply with Chinese import regulations, including obtaining necessary health and safety certifications, and providing documentation such as a phytosanitary certificate and a certificate of origin to ensure compliance with local food safety standards.
