Biscuits
From Cargo Handbook - the world's largest cargo transport guidelines website
Description
Packed in airtight tins in cases. Owing to the dampness of tropical climates, cardboard boxes are not advisable.
Packing is usually good, but tin containers, often being of very light gauge metal, are easily crushed and dented. It is a fairly common occurrence to find tins in this condition in cases externally intact and in good order. An unevenly placed coating of sugare on biscuits may of itself result in their being delivered in a broken condition. Biscuits should be given dry, well ventilated stowage, and storage away from odorous cargoes.
