Shipping Skincare Products from Guangzhou/Shenzhen, China, to Pristina, Serbia (Port-to-Port, CIF)
Shipping Options
FCL (20FT or 40FT Containers):
- Best suited for large shipments where the full container is filled with goods.
- Offers more control over the shipping environment since the entire container is dedicated to your products.
- Cost-effective for bulk shipments.
LCL (Less-than-Container Load):
- Ideal for smaller shipments that don’t require a full container.
- Your goods will share container space with other shipments, reducing costs but requiring careful packaging to prevent damage or contamination.
Packaging Skincare Products for Sea Freight
Proper packaging is essential for protecting skincare products from damage due to temperature changes, humidity, and rough handling during transit. Below are the recommended steps:
Primary Packaging:
- Use airtight bottles, jars, or tubes made of durable materials (e.g., high-density polyethylene or glass) to ensure the product is well-sealed.
- Ensure labels are waterproof and securely adhered to the containers.
Secondary Packaging:
- Place individual units into protective cardboard boxes with internal partitions to avoid movement during transit.
- Add bubble wrap or foam padding for extra cushioning.
Tertiary Packaging (Shipping Boxes):
- Use high-quality corrugated boxes for external packaging.
- Line the boxes with moisture-resistant material and include silica gel packets to reduce humidity.
- Arrange products snugly to prevent shifting.
Palletization:
- Stack the shipping boxes on sturdy wooden or plastic pallets.
- Secure the boxes with stretch wrap film or strapping bands to prevent movement during shipping.
Container Preparation:
- For FCL shipments, ensure the container is clean, dry, and well-ventilated. Consider adding desiccants to control moisture.
- For LCL shipments, request to load products away from heavy or hazardous goods to avoid contamination or damage.
