Moisture-sensitive Dry food necessitates waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding Desiccant packs and using clear handling labels on all Packaged groceries shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You Can ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if every unit is properly cushioned and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using separate inner boxes for Bottled drinks so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding packaged groceries.

Most international shipments of Ambient food typically need itemized invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you might also need Health certificates and origin documentation, especially for Bottled drinks.

For Packaged food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to Declare the full value of your beverages and Document packaging standards, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.
