Shipping Packaged Food from Vitoria to Valparaiso via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive snacks necessitates waterproof protection such as laminated liners inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding Desiccant packs and using “Keep Dry” labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You may ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if every unit is securely packed and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using Dividers for liquid items so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding packaged groceries.

Most international shipments of processed food typically need itemized invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of beverages, you might also need Health certificates and Proof of origin, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For processed food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, most shippers choose all-risks freight insurance that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to Declare the full value of your Packaged groceries 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 standard dry vans as long as you protect from temperature extremes. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on Maximum storage temperature, especially for sensitive beverages, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be stored in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent spoilage. It is essential to ensure that the cargo is properly secured to avoid movement during transit, which could lead to damage. Additionally, the packaging should be robust enough to withstand ocean conditions and potential humidity.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary health certificates or import permits specific to food products. Compliance with both Brazilian and Chilean regulatory standards is crucial for a smooth customs process.
