Shipping Lightings from Tanjung Pelepas to Mexico City via Ocean Freight

When moving mixed loads of construction goods such as light fixtures, power tools, and bulk Hardware, Separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of LED lights on top, and Use corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers do handle them appropriately.

For lamps and light fittings, choose heavy-duty cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses do not contact each other. We recommend Wrapping each fixture in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. Mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy Construction materials on the same pallet.

Book enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and Avoid long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, Consider container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

If corded tools with lithium batteries are included, Additional dangerous goods rules may apply, 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 Lighting and powered Tools.

Building and construction materials should be securely packaged to prevent damage during the long ocean freight journey. Proper load distribution and securing within the shipping container are crucial to avoid movement and potential breakage. Additionally, materials sensitive to moisture may require waterproof packaging or desiccants to mitigate humidity exposure during transit.

Essential documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any applicable certificates of origin or compliance. Import permits may also be necessary, depending on the specific building materials being shipped, to comply with Mexican regulations.
