When Shipping mixed loads of building products such as Lighting, hand tools, and bulk Hardware, Separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Stack heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of light fixtures 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 will handle them appropriately.
For Lighting and lighting components, Use reinforced boxes with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses do not contact each other. We recommend individually protecting each unit in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then Placing them in snug compartments. Clearly 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 Hardware, and electrical Lighting must be protected with Plastic sheeting and, where feasible, supplemented by desiccant packs. Use 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 Tools and branded Hardware Often justify enhanced cargo coverage, especially when combined with fragile light fixtures. We recommend covering 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 Construction goods, but You should accurately declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation. If corded tools with lithium batteries are included, Additional dangerous goods rules may apply, requiring hazmat markings, 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.
Building & Construction Materials should be securely packaged to withstand ocean transport, with attention to moisture protection and structural integrity. Additionally, materials must comply with international shipping regulations to prevent damage during transit.
Shipments require proper documentation, including a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary import permits specific to construction materials. Compliance with Brazilian customs regulations is essential, including adherence to local standards and certifications for building products.
