Shipping Dry Food from Xiamen to Yantian via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive Dry food Requires waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding drying agents and using moisture-warning labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You Can ship Snacks and beverages together if every unit is properly cushioned and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. Most carriers recommend using cell partitions for liquid items so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding dry food.

Most international shipments of Ambient food Require itemized invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you might also need free-sale certificates and certificates of origin, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For Packaged food with medium fragility and mixed Snacks and beverages, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to list realistic replacement values of your snacks and record how goods are packed, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most Ambient food and standard Bottled drinks are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you protect from temperature extremes. Most carriers recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on temperature limits, especially for sensitive beverages, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food should be securely packed to prevent damage during transit. It is crucial to ensure that the cargo is kept in a temperature-controlled environment if required, as ambient conditions can affect the integrity of the food products. Additionally, proper labeling and segregation of different food types are essential to comply with safety regulations.

The required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary health or safety certificates specific to packaged food. Compliance with local food safety regulations is essential, and exporters must ensure that all documentation meets customs requirements for smooth clearance at both ports.
