Confirm vessel space well in advance, especially before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Christmas retail peak (October-December), as capacity tightens.

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. Transport the TV standing upright, label the box with “This Side Up” and “Fragile – Electronics,” and Avoid exposure to rain or damp areas since the internal Electronics are moisture sensitive.

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 TVs, and the true transaction value to avoid delays at customs. For certain AV equipment, Check if additional certifications or licenses are needed in the destination country.

On pallets of audio equipment, use stretch film and, where possible, Add pallet covers to shield against condensation or light rain during handling.

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