Shipping Lightings from Mundra to Montevideo via Ocean Freight

When transporting mixed loads of building products 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 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 do handle them appropriately.

For light fixtures and lighting components, Use Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses Do not touch 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 building supplies on the same pallet.

Moisture-sensitive building products such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical Lighting Should be Wrapped 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, evaluate container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

High-value power tools and branded fasteners Often justify All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile Lighting. DNA recommends obtaining coverage for 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 You should Declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation.

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