Shipping Av Equipment from Santos to Houston via Ocean Freight

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

Yes, AV equipment needs rigid cartons with dense foam or molded inserts that support the chassis, not the knobs or connectors. Pack each amplifier individually, bag all cables, and include 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 involve a commercial invoice, packing list, and all applicable export declarations. List product descriptions, HS codes, serial numbers for high-value TVs, and the true transaction value to ensure smooth clearance. For certain AV equipment, Check if additional certifications or licenses are needed in the destination country.

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

Because consumer tech like high-end audio equipment are high value and fragile, adding cargo insurance that matches their replacement cost is strongly recommended. Check your carrier’s standard liability limits, list accurate values and serial numbers, and store packing photos and invoices so any claim for damaged Gadgets can be processed efficiently.

Consumer electronics are sensitive to temperature and humidity changes, so they should be packed with moisture-absorbing materials and in climate-controlled containers when possible. Additionally, adequate cushioning is necessary to protect against impacts during transit.
