Shipping Fasteners from Busan to Port Klang via Ocean Freight

When transporting mixed loads of building products such as light fixtures, Tools, and bulk fasteners, properly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Stack heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and add 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 lighting components, choose Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses do not contact each other. DNA recommends individually protecting each unit in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. Prominently mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy hardware on the same pallet.

Moisture-sensitive building products such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical Lighting Should be protected with moisture-barrier film and, where feasible, supplemented by desiccant packs. Book enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and minimize long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, look at container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

High-value power tools and branded fasteners typically warrant All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile light fixtures. DNA recommends covering shipments at full replacement value and retaining serial numbers or SKU lists for premium hand tools. This documentation improves claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.

Most standard electrical LED lights ship as general building products, but you must Declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation. If corded tools with lithium batteries are included, DG regulations may be involved, requiring hazmat markings, packing instructions, and sometimes carrier pre-approval. Coordinate with your carrier or freight forwarder in advance to confirm any restrictions for combined loads of electrical LED lights and powered power tools.

Building & Construction Materials should be securely packaged to withstand ocean freight conditions, including potential exposure to moisture. Heavy items may require specialized equipment for loading and unloading. Additionally, proper stowing is essential to prevent shifting during transit.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary import permits or certificates specific to construction materials as mandated by Malaysian customs regulations. Ensure compliance with both South Korean export and Malaysian import regulations to facilitate smooth customs clearance.
