When Shipping mixed loads of building products such as Lighting, hand tools, and bulk fasteners, Separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of LED lights on top, and apply 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 do handle them appropriately.
For Lighting and lighting components, Use reinforced boxes with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. We recommend Wrapping each fixture in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. 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 fasteners, and electrical Lighting must be covered with Plastic sheeting and, where feasible, Combined with desiccant packs. Select enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and Avoid long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, evaluate container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.
High-value Tools and branded fasteners Often justify enhanced cargo coverage, especially when combined with fragile LED lights. We recommend Insuring 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 Lighting ship as general building products, but You should accurately declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation. If battery-powered tools with lithium batteries are included, Additional dangerous goods rules may apply, requiring Special labeling, 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.
