Shipping Lamps from Long Beach to Taipei via Ocean Freight

When Shipping mixed loads of building products such as light fixtures, Tools, and bulk fasteners, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and add corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers do handle them appropriately.

For Lighting and lighting components, choose Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses do not contact each other. Our team recommends Wrapping each fixture in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then Placing them in snug compartments. Prominently 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 LED lights Should be protected with poly wrap and, where feasible, Combined with desiccant packs. Use enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and minimize 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 typically warrant All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile light fixtures. Our specialists recommend 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.

Most standard electrical Lighting ship as general building products, but you must Declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation. If corded tools with lithium batteries are included, you may trigger dangerous goods regulations, requiring Special labeling, packing instructions, and sometimes carrier pre-approval. Consult your carrier or freight forwarder in advance to confirm any restrictions for combined loads of electrical LED lights and powered power tools.
