Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food Requires moisture-resistant inner packaging such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding Desiccant packs and using “Keep Dry” labels on all Packaged groceries shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.
You are allowed to ship Snacks and beverages together if all items are properly cushioned and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using Dividers for Bottled drinks so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding Snacks.
Most international shipments of packaged groceries Require detailed invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you might also need Health certificates and Proof of origin, especially for Bottled drinks.
For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed Snacks and beverages, insurance providers typically recommend comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to Declare the full value of your Packaged groceries and Document packaging standards, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.
Most processed food and standard Bottled drinks Can be shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you protect from temperature extremes. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on Maximum storage temperature, especially for Chocolate snacks, 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 prevent spoilage. It is essential to ensure proper sealing and packaging to protect against humidity and moisture, which can affect the quality of shelf-stable food. Additionally, care must be taken to avoid contamination from other cargo.
Shipments of packaged food from Malaysia to Brazil must comply with Brazilian health regulations, including obtaining the necessary import permits from the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA).
