(1) Select a double wall standard size 5 cubit ft. / 6 cubit ft box that is thick and sturdy enough to withstand the long trip by land and ocean.
(2) Check the box manufacturer's strength certification printed on the bottom of the box. Take note of the gross weight limit which tells you how much the box can safely carry without falling apart. For safety and security, it is best to keep your box under 100 lbs.
(3) Put a plastic liner on the box before putting anything on it. This will protect your items from getting wet.

chocolate and bakery products which would absorb these odors and affect
their quality. Put chocolate bars in hard boxes or canisters to provide
additional protection from melting and being compressed by other items
in the box.
