Shipping Building Products from Itapoa to Manaus via Ocean Freight

When Shipping mixed loads of construction goods such as Lighting, hand tools, and bulk fasteners, properly 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. Prominently label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers do handle them appropriately.

For Lighting and light fittings, Use reinforced boxes with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. DNA recommends Wrapping each fixture 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 fasteners, and electrical Lighting must be covered with moisture-barrier film and, where feasible, Combined with desiccant packs. Use 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 fasteners Often justify enhanced cargo coverage, especially when combined with fragile LED lights. DNA recommends Insuring shipments at full replacement value and Keeping serial numbers or SKU lists for premium hand tools. This documentation improves claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.
