Shipping Medicines from San Jose to Tacoma via Ocean Freight

Moving temperature-sensitive medicines demands Validated insulated packaging, correct refrigerants, and unbroken temperature monitoring. Use an express service where possible, pre-cool 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 pharma products must be packed in compartmental inserts with Top and bottom cushioning. Position trays inside a double-walled box and Fill void-fill so nothing moves. For moisture-sensitive medical drugs, pair this with moisture-barrier inner bags and desiccants.

International shipments of pharma products typically demand a detailed commercial invoice, packing list, and any permits 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. Double-check requirements with your customs broker before shipping.

For moisture-sensitive pharma products, select 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.

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.
