When shipping a TV, choose an upright TV carton with foam edge and corner protectors, wrap the screen in foam wrap, and Fill all voids so the unit cannot move.

International shipments of Electronics typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, and all applicable export declarations. Include product descriptions, HS codes, serial numbers for high-value Gadgets, and the true transaction value to ensure smooth clearance. For certain AV equipment, confirm if additional certifications or licenses are needed in the destination country.

Confirm your carrier’s standard liability limits, Declare accurate values and serial numbers, and store packing photos and invoices so any claim for damaged Gadgets can be processed efficiently.
