Shipping Beverages from Zhongshan to Xiamen via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive snacks necessitates waterproof protection such as laminated liners inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding silica gel and using moisture-warning labels on all ambient 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. Our logistics team recommends using cell partitions for beverages 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 manufacturer declarations and certificates of origin, especially for beverages.

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 accurately declare values of your snacks and note your packing methods, 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. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on temperature limits, especially for oil-based dry food, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be transported in a manner that prevents contamination and maintains its shelf stability. It is important to ensure that the cargo holds are clean and free of any substances that could affect the integrity of the food products. Proper ventilation should be maintained to avoid moisture buildup, and temperature control measures may be necessary depending on the type of packaged food being shipped.

Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and health certificates or food safety certificates as mandated by Chinese regulations. Additionally, the packaged food must comply with local food safety standards, and any necessary customs declarations should be prepared for inspection at both the departure and arrival ports.
