Fragile glass vials of pharma products must be packed in Molded trays with Top and bottom cushioning. Position trays inside a sturdy shipping box and block and brace with void-fill so nothing moves. For moisture-sensitive medical drugs, integrate this with moisture-barrier inner bags and desiccants.
International shipments of pharma products typically demand a detailed commercial invoice, packing list, and any Licenses required by the importing country. Many destinations also require Certificates of Analysis, proof of GDP-compliant handling, and clear temperature instructions for cold-chain medicines. Verify requirements with your customs broker before shipping.

Seal cartons tightly, avoid damaged boxes, and book transport options that minimize exposure to rain and high humidity, such as covered docks and climate-controlled linehaul for medical drugs.
