Shipping Power Tools from Istanbul to Shanghai via Ocean Freight

When Shipping mixed loads of Construction materials such as lamps, Tools, and bulk fasteners, Separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place 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 do handle them appropriately.

For export, look at container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

This documentation improves claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.

Check with your carrier or freight forwarder in advance to confirm any restrictions for combined loads of electrical LED lights and powered power tools.
