Shipping Audio Equipment from Colombo to San Juan via Ocean Freight

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

Pack each audio device individually, bundle accessories in separate bags, and Use desiccant packs for moisture control. For multiple units, ship on pallets with corner posts and stretch wrap to keep the load stable.

International shipments of Electronics typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, and relevant export declarations.

For certain home theater systems, confirm if additional certifications or licenses are needed in the destination country.

For moisture-sensitive Electronics, select moisture-barrier bags or sealed poly bags around each unit, place desiccant sachets inside the inner packaging, and close cartons tightly. On pallets of TVs, wrap with stretch film and, where possible, use pallet covers to shield against condensation or light rain during handling.
