Shipping Av Equipment from Seattle to Santos 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 non-abrasive padding, and brace all voids so the unit cannot move. Transport 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, AV equipment needs rigid cartons with dense foam or molded inserts that support the chassis, not the knobs or connectors. Pack each audio device individually, bundle accessories in separate bags, and include 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 consumer tech typically involve a commercial invoice, packing list, and relevant export declarations. Clearly state product descriptions, HS codes, serial numbers for high-value TVs, 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 consumer tech, pack with moisture-barrier bags or sealed poly bags around each unit, place desiccant sachets inside the inner packaging, and close cartons tightly. On pallets of audio equipment, use stretch film and, where possible, use pallet covers to shield against condensation or light rain during handling.

Because consumer tech like high-end audio equipment are high value and fragile, obtaining cargo insurance that matches their replacement cost is strongly recommended. Verify your carrier’s standard liability limits, list 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 securely to prevent damage during transit, with adequate cushioning and moisture protection. Additionally, it's important to ensure that packaging complies with international shipping standards to avoid issues at customs.

Shipments of consumer electronics to Brazil require proper documentation, including a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary import permits. Additionally, compliance with Brazil's Anatel regulations for telecommunications equipment may be necessary for certain devices.

We rely on in-house customs brokerage with automation to reduce errors and accelerate clearance, rather than outsourcing to third-party brokers with outdated, manual documentation processes.
