Shipping Power Tools from Navegantes to Genoa via Ocean Freight

When moving mixed loads of building products such as lamps, Tools, and bulk Hardware, clearly 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 add 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 lamps and lighting components, pack in Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses Do not touch each other. Our team recommends 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 hardware on the same pallet.

Moisture-sensitive building supplies such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical LED lights Should be Wrapped with poly wrap 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, look at container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

High-value hand tools and branded fasteners usually require All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile Lighting. Our specialists recommend covering shipments at full replacement value and retaining 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 light fixtures ship as general building products, but it is important to Declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation. If Power tools with lithium batteries are included, you may trigger dangerous goods regulations, 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.

When shipping Building & Construction Materials, it is crucial to ensure that the materials are properly packaged to withstand ocean transport. Items should be secured to prevent shifting during transit and moisture protection measures should be taken, particularly for materials susceptible to water damage. Additionally, cargo should comply with weight restrictions and be suitable for container transport.

Shipments of Building & Construction Materials from Brazil to Italy must adhere to both Brazilian export regulations and Italian import regulations.
