Shipping Tools from Cai Mep to Montreal via Ocean Freight

When transporting mixed loads of Construction materials such as light fixtures, Tools, and bulk fasteners, properly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Stack 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 do handle them appropriately.

For light fixtures and LED lights, choose Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. DNA recommends individually protecting each unit 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 Should be covered with moisture-barrier film and, where feasible, supplemented by desiccant packs. Select 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 typically warrant All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile LED lights. DNA recommends covering shipments at full replacement value and maintaining serial numbers or SKU lists for premium Power tools. This documentation strengthens claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.

Most standard electrical LED lights ship as general Construction goods, but you must 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 hazmat markings, packing instructions, and sometimes carrier pre-approval. Check with your carrier or freight forwarder in advance to confirm any restrictions for combined loads of electrical Lighting and powered Tools.
