Shipping Televisions from Haiphong to Baltimore 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, label the box with “This Side Up” and “Fragile – Electronics,” and prevent exposure to rain or damp areas since the internal components are moisture sensitive.

Yes, Audio equipment requires rigid cartons with dense foam or molded inserts that support the chassis, not the knobs or connectors. Pack each audio device individually, bundle accessories in separate bags, and Use 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 Electronics typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, and relevant export declarations. Clearly state product descriptions, HS codes, serial numbers for high-value Gadgets, and the true transaction value to avoid delays at customs. For certain home theater systems, verify 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, use stretch film and, where possible, use pallet covers to shield against condensation or light rain during handling.

Because Electronics like televisions are high value and fragile, obtaining cargo insurance that matches their replacement cost is strongly recommended. Verify your carrier’s standard liability limits, Declare accurate values and serial numbers, and retain packing photos and invoices so any claim for damaged AV equipment can be processed efficiently.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Vietnam. Additionally, import clearance documentation is needed for U.S. customs, including an Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing for shipments exceeding $2,500 in value.

Yes, seasonal considerations include the monsoon season in Vietnam, which typically occurs from May to October, potentially affecting port operations and shipping schedules. Additionally, the peak shipping season in the U.S., particularly around holidays, may lead to increased demand and congestion at the Baltimore port.
