Shipping Led Lights from Jakarta to Mexico City via Ocean Freight

When transporting mixed loads of construction goods such as lamps, Tools, and bulk fasteners, Separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Stack heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of light fixtures 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 Can handle them appropriately.

For light fixtures and light fittings, pack in Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. We recommend individually protecting each unit in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. Clearly mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy building supplies on the same pallet.

Moisture-sensitive building products such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical LED lights Should be covered with Plastic sheeting and, where feasible, supplemented by desiccant packs. Book 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, evaluate container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

High-value power tools and branded fasteners usually require All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile LED lights. We recommend covering 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 LED lights ship as general building products, but it is important to 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 hazmat markings, 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 power tools.
