Shipping Lightings from Santos to Callao via Ocean Freight

When transporting mixed loads of construction goods such as light fixtures, hand tools, and bulk fasteners, Separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Load heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of LED lights 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 light fixtures and light fittings, choose reinforced boxes with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. We recommend individually wrapping each item in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then Placing them in snug compartments. Mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy hardware on the same pallet.

Moisture-sensitive building products such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical LED lights must be covered with Plastic sheeting and, where feasible, paired with desiccant packs. Use enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and Avoid long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, look at container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

High-value power tools and branded fasteners typically warrant enhanced cargo coverage, especially when combined with fragile LED lights. We recommend obtaining coverage for shipments at full replacement value and Keeping serial numbers or SKU lists for premium Power tools. This documentation improves claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.

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

Building & Construction Materials must be securely packaged to prevent damage during ocean transport. It's essential to use appropriate containers that can withstand the marine environment and to ensure proper weight distribution to maintain balance during transit.
