Shipping Medical Drugs from Long Beach to Newark via Ocean Freight

Shipping temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical goods demands Validated insulated packaging, correct refrigerants, and unbroken temperature monitoring. Specify an express service where possible, stabilize gel packs, and place a data logger in the carton to verify that medical drugs stayed within their labeled temperature range.

Fragile glass vials of Medicines need to be packed in compartmental inserts with Top and bottom cushioning. Position trays inside a double-walled box and stabilize using void-fill so nothing moves. For moisture-sensitive medical drugs, integrate this with moisture-barrier inner bags and desiccants.

International shipments of Pharmaceutical goods typically necessitate a detailed commercial invoice, packing list, and any permits required by the importing country.

Double-check requirements with your customs broker before shipping.

For moisture-sensitive Medicines, specify high-barrier bags plus desiccant sachets inside the packaging. Seal cartons tightly, avoid damaged boxes, and book transport options that reduce exposure to rain and high humidity, such as covered docks and climate-controlled linehaul for medical drugs.

High-value Pharma products usually require enhanced cargo insurance that covers temperature excursions, breakage, and theft. Work with an insurer familiar with pharmaceutical goods, state the full replacement value, and retain temperature and handling records so claims can be processed efficiently if something goes wrong.
