You may ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if all items are securely packed and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using separate inner boxes for liquid items 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 beverages, you could be asked for Health certificates and origin documentation, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For processed food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, insurance providers typically recommend all-risks freight insurance that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to Declare the full value of your beverages and record how goods are packed, as insurers may assess packaging quality when processing claims.

Most shelf-stable food and standard snacks are shipped in standard dry vans as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on heat sensitivity, especially for sensitive beverages, 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. It is essential to ensure that the containers are sealed properly to avoid contamination and that they comply with international shipping regulations for food safety.
