When transporting mixed loads of building products such as lamps, Tools, and bulk fasteners, properly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and Use corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Clearly label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers Can handle them appropriately.
For light fixtures and lighting components, pack in Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. DNA recommends Wrapping each fixture in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then Placing them in snug compartments. Prominently mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy Construction materials on the same pallet.
Moisture-sensitive building products such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical LED lights Should be covered with moisture-barrier film and, where feasible, Combined with desiccant packs. Use enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and minimize long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, Consider container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.
High-value power tools and branded fasteners usually require All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile LED lights. DNA recommends Insuring shipments at full replacement value and Keeping serial numbers or SKU lists for premium hand tools. This documentation Supports claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.
Most standard electrical LED lights ship as general building products, but it is important to Declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation. If battery-powered tools with lithium batteries are included, DG regulations may be involved, requiring Special labeling, packing instructions, and sometimes carrier pre-approval. Consult your carrier or freight forwarder in advance to confirm any restrictions for combined loads of electrical LED lights and powered Tools.
