Shipping Consumer Teches from Seattle to Veracruz via Ocean Freight

When shipping a flat-screen display, Use an upright TV carton with foam edge and corner protectors, wrap the screen in Soft foam, 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 prevent exposure to rain or damp areas since the internal components are moisture sensitive.

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

List product descriptions, HS codes, serial numbers for high-value TVs, and the true transaction value to ensure smooth clearance.

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