Shipping Tools from Izmir to Genoa via Ocean Freight

When Shipping mixed loads of construction goods such as Lighting, Tools, and bulk Hardware, properly 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 Use 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 will handle them appropriately.

For Lighting and light fittings, Use Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses do not contact each other. DNA 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 Construction materials on the same pallet.

Moisture-sensitive Construction materials such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical Lighting Should be protected with moisture-barrier film 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, Consider container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

High-value Tools and branded fasteners Often justify All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile light fixtures. DNA recommends obtaining coverage for shipments at full replacement value and retaining serial numbers or SKU lists for premium hand tools. This documentation Supports claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.

Most standard electrical Lighting ship as general building products, but You should 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 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.

Building & Construction Materials should be securely packaged to prevent damage during ocean transport. Heavy items may require additional reinforcement, and proper labeling is essential to comply with safety regulations. It's also important to ensure that materials are stowed properly to avoid shifting during transit.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any specific certificates of origin or compliance relevant to the materials being shipped. Importers must also ensure compliance with both Turkish export regulations and Italian import requirements for construction goods.
