Shipping Televisions from Kobe to Seattle via Ocean Freight

When shipping a flat-screen display, choose an upright TV carton with foam edge and corner protectors, wrap the screen in foam wrap, and brace all voids so the unit cannot move. Keep the TV standing upright, clearly mark the box with “This Side Up” and “Fragile – Electronics,” and minimize exposure to rain or damp areas since the internal circuitry are moisture sensitive.

Yes, AV equipment requires rigid cartons with dense foam or molded inserts that support the chassis, not the knobs or connectors. Pack each amplifier individually, bundle accessories in separate bags, and Use desiccant packs for moisture control. For multiple units, ship on pallets with corner posts and stretch wrap to keep the load stable.

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

For moisture-sensitive consumer tech, select moisture-barrier bags or sealed poly bags around each unit, include desiccant sachets inside the inner packaging, and close cartons tightly. On pallets of TVs, wrap with stretch film and, where possible, install pallet covers to shield against condensation or light rain during handling.

Because consumer tech like televisions are high value and fragile, adding cargo insurance that matches their replacement cost is strongly recommended. Verify your carrier’s standard liability limits, Declare accurate values and serial numbers, and store packing photos and invoices so any claim for damaged home theater systems can be processed efficiently.
