Shipping Led Lights from Wuhan to Montevideo via Ocean Freight

When transporting mixed loads of Construction materials such as lamps, Tools, and bulk Hardware, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Load 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. Prominently label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers Can handle them appropriately.

For light fixtures and LED lights, pack in Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses Do not touch each other. Our team recommends individually wrapping each item 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.

Moisture-sensitive building products such as cement-based goods, metal Hardware, and electrical LED lights Should be Wrapped with poly wrap and, where feasible, paired with desiccant packs. Select 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.

High-value power tools and branded Hardware usually require All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile Lighting. Our specialists recommend obtaining coverage for shipments at full replacement value and maintaining serial numbers or SKU lists for premium Power tools. This documentation Supports claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.

Most standard electrical LED lights ship as general Construction goods, but it is important to Declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation. If Power tools with lithium batteries are included, you may trigger dangerous goods regulations, requiring UN-compliant labels, packing instructions, and sometimes carrier pre-approval. Check with your carrier or freight forwarder in advance to confirm any restrictions for combined loads of electrical Lighting and powered Tools.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or quality compliance specific to building materials.
