Shipping Av Equipment from Montreal to Genoa via Ocean Freight

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. 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 Electronics 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 amplifier individually, Wrap cables separately, and add 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 all applicable 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, Check 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, include 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.

Because Electronics like televisions are high value and fragile, adding cargo insurance that matches their replacement cost is strongly recommended. 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.

Consumer electronics should be packed in protective materials to prevent damage during transit. It is important to ensure that the products are moisture-resistant, as ocean freight can expose shipments to humidity. Additionally, using temperature-controlled containers may be necessary to protect sensitive electronic devices from temperature fluctuations.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary certificates of conformity for electronic devices compliant with EU regulations. It is also important to provide a bill of lading and any customs declarations required for both Canadian and Italian customs authorities.

SAMMIE uses AI to power real-time tracking, hunt for the best carrier, lane, and timing, detect issues in ports and lanes, parse and sort documents, and learn from every shipment to improve the next one.

Customers have reported real-time updates on delays, a reduction in tracking time from 25–30 hours per week to 2–3 hours per week, more efficient management of many shipments, and the ability to quickly and efficiently update their own customers on project-based ocean freight shipments.

Teams can expect 50% less time spent tracking shipments, immediate visibility, fewer shipment errors and missed handoffs, better alignment between purchasing, logistics, and finance, and lower overhead with fewer manual check-ins.
