Shipping Lamps from Suape to Montevideo via Ocean Freight

When moving mixed loads of construction goods such as Lighting, Tools, and bulk fasteners, Separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Stack heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and apply 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 light fittings, Use Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. We recommend individually protecting each unit in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then Placing them in snug compartments. Prominently mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy building supplies on the same pallet.

Moisture-sensitive building supplies such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical Lighting Should be covered with Plastic sheeting and, where feasible, supplemented by desiccant packs.

For export, evaluate container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

We recommend covering shipments at full replacement value and Keeping serial numbers or SKU lists for premium hand tools. This documentation strengthens claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.
