When shipping from Suape, Brazil to Shenzhen, China, prepare for significant seasonal disruptions. During the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November), allow for buffer days to accommodate potential delays and secure alternative ports of refuge, especially from August to October. Additionally, account for the Brazil Wet Season (October-March) and the South Atlantic Cyclone Risk (November-April), which may necessitate flexible routing and increased cargo protection measures. Lastly, prepare for congestion during peak retail periods (November-December) and the Golden Week holiday in China (October 1-7), which can impact schedules and capacity.

Moisture-sensitive snacks necessitates moisture-resistant inner packaging such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding Desiccant packs and using “Keep Dry” labels on all ambient 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 beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using Dividers for beverages so that any leak does not damage surrounding packaged groceries.
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 could be asked for Health certificates and Proof of origin, especially for beverages.
For processed food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, insurance providers typically recommend comprehensive cargo cover that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to Declare the full value of your Packaged groceries and note your packing methods, as insurers may assess packaging quality when processing claims.
Most shelf-stable food and standard snacks Can be shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on Maximum storage temperature, 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 ensure shelf stability. Proper ventilation and humidity control are also crucial to prevent spoilage. Additionally, securing the cargo to prevent movement during ocean transit is essential.
Shipments of packaged food require compliance with both Brazilian export regulations and Chinese import regulations, including obtaining the necessary health and safety certifications. Import permits and a detailed declaration of the product's ingredients and processing methods must also be provided to Chinese customs.
