Shipping Led Lights from Aliaga to Suape via Ocean Freight

When transporting mixed loads of Construction materials such as Lighting, power tools, and bulk Hardware, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Load heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of light fixtures on top, and apply corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers will handle them appropriately.

For light fixtures and LED lights, Use heavy-duty cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses do not contact each other. Our team recommends individually wrapping each item in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then Placing them in snug compartments. Clearly mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy building supplies on the same pallet.

Moisture-sensitive building products such as cement-based goods, metal Hardware, and electrical Lighting need to be protected with poly wrap and, where feasible, paired with desiccant packs. Use enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and try to avoid long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, evaluate container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

High-value power tools and branded Hardware Often justify additional freight insurance, especially when combined with fragile light fixtures. Our specialists recommend obtaining coverage for shipments at full replacement value and Keeping serial numbers or SKU lists for premium Power tools. This documentation strengthens claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.

Consult your carrier or freight forwarder in advance to confirm any restrictions for combined loads of electrical Lighting and powered power tools.

The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and customs declaration. Additionally, specific certificates may be needed depending on the type of building materials, such as phytosanitary certificates for wood products.
