Shipping Construction Goods from Callao to Istanbul via Ocean Freight

When Shipping mixed loads of Construction materials such as light fixtures, power tools, and bulk Hardware, 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 add 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 will handle them appropriately.

For Lighting and LED lights, choose heavy-duty cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses Do not touch each other. We recommend 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 hardware on the same pallet.

Moisture-sensitive Construction materials such as cement-based goods, metal Hardware, and electrical Lighting need to be Wrapped with Plastic sheeting 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, look at container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

High-value Tools and branded Hardware typically warrant additional freight insurance, especially when combined with fragile Lighting. We recommend covering shipments at full replacement value and maintaining serial numbers or SKU lists for premium Power tools. 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 properly declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation. If Power tools with lithium batteries are included, Additional dangerous goods rules may apply, 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 power tools.
