Shipping Led Lights from Xiamen to San Juan via Ocean Freight

When Shipping mixed loads of Construction materials such as Lighting, hand tools, and bulk Hardware, Separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Stack heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of light fixtures 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 Can handle them appropriately.

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