Shipping Fasteners from Shekou to Buenos Aires via Ocean Freight

When transporting mixed loads of construction goods such as Lighting, power tools, and bulk fasteners, 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 add corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Prominently label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers do handle them appropriately.

For light fixtures and light fittings, Use heavy-duty cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact 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 hardware on the same pallet.

Moisture-sensitive building products such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical Lighting need to be covered 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, look at container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

High-value power tools and branded fasteners Often justify additional freight insurance, especially when combined with fragile LED lights. DNA recommends obtaining coverage for 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 LED lights ship as general building products, but You should properly declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation. If battery-powered tools with lithium batteries are included, DG regulations may be involved, requiring UN-compliant labels, 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.
