When moving mixed loads of building products such as lamps, Tools, and bulk Hardware, 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. Clearly label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers Can handle them appropriately.
For lamps and lighting components, pack in 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 supplies such as cement-based goods, metal Hardware, and electrical LED lights 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 hand tools and branded Hardware usually require 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 light fixtures ship as general Construction goods, but it is important to 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.
The required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary customs declarations. Additionally, compliance with U.S. import regulations, including any specific material certifications, may be required.
