Many destinations also ask for Certificates of Analysis, proof of GDP-compliant handling, and clear temperature instructions for cold-chain medicines. Verify requirements with your customs broker before shipping.
For moisture-sensitive pharmaceutical goods, specify Foil-laminate pouches plus desiccant sachets inside the packaging. Seal cartons tightly, avoid damaged boxes, and select transport options that minimize exposure to rain and high humidity, such as covered docks and climate-controlled linehaul for medical drugs.
