When shipping a TV, choose an upright TV carton with foam edge and corner protectors, wrap the screen in Soft foam, and block all voids so the unit cannot move. Ship the TV standing upright, label the box with “This Side Up” and “Fragile – Electronics,” and prevent exposure to rain or damp areas since the internal circuitry are moisture sensitive.

List product descriptions, HS codes, serial numbers for high-value devices, and the true transaction value to avoid delays at customs.

Check your carrier’s standard liability limits, state accurate values and serial numbers, and retain packing photos and invoices so any claim for damaged AV equipment can be processed efficiently.
