Mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy hardware on the same pallet.

This documentation improves claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.
Most standard electrical Lighting ship as general Construction goods, but you must accurately declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation.
