When shipping from Sanshui, China to Manzanillo, Mexico, anticipate delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in additional buffer days for port operations and secure vessel space well in advance, especially around the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February). Plan for increased congestion and longer transit times during peak export seasons (September-November), and communicate closely with carriers to manage potential disruptions effectively.

When Shipping mixed loads of building products such as Lighting, power tools, and bulk fasteners, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools 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 will handle them appropriately.
For Lighting and lighting components, Use heavy-duty 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 positioning 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 Hardware, and electrical Lighting need to be protected with poly wrap and, where feasible, Combined 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, look at container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.
High-value Tools and branded Hardware Often justify additional freight insurance, especially when combined with fragile light fixtures. Our specialists recommend Insuring 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 Lighting ship as general Construction goods, but You should properly 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. Coordinate with 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 must be securely packaged to withstand ocean transport, considering the potential for moisture exposure and shifting during transit. It is essential to use appropriate containers that prevent damage and ensure stability.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance specific to building materials. It is important to ensure that all documentation aligns with Mexican import regulations.
