During long-distance shipment, temperature and humidity changes inside containers can affect packaged goods. For moisture-sensitive products such as salt, container and packaging checks should form part of loading control.

Inspect the container before loading

Check for water ingress, holes, floor damage, odors or visible signs of moisture.

Protect packaging integrity

Torn bags, open liners and sharp pallet edges can increase moisture exposure and product loss.

Plan the loading pattern

Pallet stability and contact with container surfaces should be considered.

Consider condensation risk by route

Routes with large climate and temperature changes can increase condensation risk.

Record condition at destination

If damage or moisture is observed, document container opening, packaging condition and lot identification.

Loading checklist

  • Container dry and sound
  • Packaging intact
  • Pallet configuration suitable
  • Lots recorded
  • Load secured
  • Documents ready
