When shipping from Callao, Peru to Yantian, China, anticipate significant delays during the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December). Build in buffer days for potential port congestion and communicate closely with carriers for dynamic routing options. Secure vessel space at least 3-4 weeks in advance during peak periods, especially around the Western New Year (December 20-January 5) and the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February). Increase vigilance on weather forecasts and adjust cut-off times accordingly to avoid disruptions.

When Shipping mixed loads of Construction materials such as light fixtures, Tools, and bulk fasteners, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Load heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and apply corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Prominently label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers do handle them appropriately.
For Lighting and LED lights, choose Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. Our team recommends individually wrapping each item in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. Prominently mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy building supplies on the same pallet.
Moisture-sensitive Construction materials such as cement-based goods, metal Hardware, and electrical LED lights Should be covered with poly wrap and, where feasible, paired with 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, evaluate container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.
High-value Tools and branded Hardware typically warrant All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile LED lights. Our specialists recommend obtaining coverage for shipments at full replacement value and retaining serial numbers or SKU lists for premium hand tools. This documentation strengthens claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.
Most standard electrical Lighting 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, you may trigger dangerous goods regulations, requiring UN-compliant labels, 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 Tools.
When shipping Building & Construction Materials, it is important to ensure proper packaging and securing of the cargo to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, materials should be compliant with international shipping standards to avoid delays at customs.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any certificates of origin or compliance required by Chinese regulations for construction materials. It is essential to verify specific customs requirements to ensure smooth clearance upon arrival.
