Frequently asked questions
How should wine be packaged?
Wine must be packaged in a container suitable for bottle transport (a Vastorg-supplied box or a carrier-certified box). The goal is to prevent movement, protect the bottles from impacts, and limit breakage risk.
Can I use a standard winery presentation box?
No, it is not permitted. Presentation boxes and standard winery cartons are not designed to withstand the stresses of international transport.
Vastorg can supply suitable packaging based on the shipment.
Can wooden cases be shipped as-is?
No. The wine must be taken out of the wooden case and packed in a carton suited to international transport. A wooden case protects presentation but is not sufficient as transport packaging.
Who supplies the packaging?
Packaging can be supplied by Vastorg. If not, the packaging chosen by the shipper must be validated by Vastorg before departure.
