Shipping Consumer Electronics from Kobe to Long Beach via Ocean Freight

When shipping a TV, Use an upright TV carton with foam edge and corner protectors, wrap the screen in non-abrasive padding, and Fill all voids so the unit cannot move. Ship 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 circuitry are moisture sensitive.

Yes, Audio equipment Should use rigid cartons with dense foam or molded inserts that support the chassis, not the knobs or connectors.

International shipments of Electronics typically Require a commercial invoice, packing list, and relevant export declarations. Include product descriptions, HS codes, serial numbers for high-value devices, and the true transaction value to avoid delays at customs. For certain home theater systems, confirm if additional certifications or licenses are needed in the destination country.

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

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