When shipping a flat-screen display, pack in 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. Transport the TV standing upright, label the box with “This Side Up” and “Fragile – Electronics,” and minimize exposure to rain or damp areas since the internal components are moisture sensitive.
Yes, AV equipment needs rigid cartons with dense foam or molded inserts that support the chassis, not the knobs or connectors. Pack each amplifier individually, Wrap cables separately, and include desiccant packs for moisture control. For multiple units, place on pallets with corner posts and stretch wrap to keep the load stable.
International shipments of consumer tech typically involve a commercial invoice, packing list, and all applicable export declarations. Include product descriptions, HS codes, serial numbers for high-value TVs, and the true transaction value to avoid delays at customs. For certain audio equipment, verify if additional certifications or licenses are needed in the destination country.
For moisture-sensitive consumer tech, pack with moisture-barrier bags or sealed poly bags around each unit, include desiccant sachets inside the inner packaging, and Seal cartons tightly. On pallets of audio equipment, use stretch film and, where possible, install pallet covers to shield against condensation or light rain during handling.
Because consumer tech like high-end audio equipment are high value and fragile, adding cargo insurance that matches their replacement cost is strongly recommended. Confirm your carrier’s standard liability limits, list accurate values and serial numbers, and retain packing photos and invoices so any claim for damaged home theater systems can be processed efficiently.
Consumer electronics are sensitive to temperature and humidity changes, so it is essential to use climate-controlled packaging during air freight. Additionally, to prevent damage, items should be securely packed with anti-static materials and cushioning to absorb shocks during transit.
