Shipping Bottled Drinks from Yokohama to Newark via Ocean Freight

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

You are allowed to ship shelf-stable food with drinks 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 Bottled drinks so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding dry food.

Most international shipments of packaged groceries typically need 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 Bottled drinks.

For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to list realistic replacement values of your snacks and Document packaging standards, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most processed food and standard snacks 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 Chocolate snacks, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food requires temperature control and protection from moisture during ocean transport. It is important to ensure that containers are sealed properly to prevent contamination and spoilage. Additionally, the cargo should be stowed in a way that allows for proper ventilation and avoids crushing or damage.

Shipments of packaged food must comply with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including proper labeling and documentation. Importers must also provide a prior notice to the FDA before the food arrives in the U.S. Additionally, the food must meet U.S. safety standards and may be subject to inspection upon arrival in Newark.
