Shipping Medicines from San Jose to Vitoria via Ocean Freight

Moving temperature-sensitive Pharma products demands qualified cold-chain containers, correct refrigerants, and unbroken temperature monitoring. Specify an express service where possible, stabilize gel packs, and include a data logger in the carton to verify that medical drugs stayed within their labeled temperature range.

Fragile glass vials of pharma products Should be packed in compartmental inserts with surrounding foam. 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 pharma products typically Require a detailed commercial invoice, packing list, and any permits required by the importing country. Several markets 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, Use high-barrier bags plus desiccant sachets inside the packaging. Close 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 medicines Benefit from enhanced cargo insurance that covers temperature excursions, breakage, and theft. Coordinate 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.

The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary import permits or licenses specific to pharmaceuticals, as well as a certificate of analysis for the products being shipped.

Pharmaceuticals must comply with both Costa Rican export regulations and Brazilian import regulations, which include registration with ANVISA (Brazil's health regulatory agency), adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and ensuring that all products meet Brazilian health and safety standards.
