Shipping Home Accessories from Aliaga to Bogota via Ocean Freight

Shipping furniture sets and home accessories necessitates careful preparation. Exporters should take apart removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then cushion each component separately. Use edge guards on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in Double-walled cartons with snug internal cushioning. Finally, conspicuously label all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the this side up orientation.

Large or heavy Mirrors are usually safer with freight services than standard parcel, because freight supports palletization and stable handling. For small, well-padded decorative items under parcel size limits, it is possible to use parcel carriers, but shippers should add reinforced packaging and insure for full value. Oversized wall decor panels are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive Furniture and home accessories, exporters should use poly sheeting around each boxed or crated item, then add moisture absorbers inside the packaging. In ocean containers, never place pallets directly against steel walls; instead, maintain a small air gap and use dry packs hung from lashing points. Choose covered docks so decorative item boxes are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and decorative items typically call for a full commercial invoice, packing list, and customs classification for each product type. Exporters should clearly describe items (for example, “wooden furniture,” “glass mirrors,” “metal wall decor”) and state materials to avoid customs delays. For designer or branded home decor, verify if any brand documentation or COO documents are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for Furniture and decorative items is usually based on weight, which often is lower than the actual value of designer pieces, artistic decorative items, or premium home decoration items. Insurance providers typically recommend purchasing all-risk coverage for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy includes breakage and moisture damage. This helps guarantee you can be compensated for the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.

When shipping Furniture & Home Décor via ocean freight, it is essential to use appropriate packaging materials to protect items from moisture and potential damage during transit. Additionally, items should be secured properly within shipping containers to prevent movement that could lead to scratches or breakage.

Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant certificates of origin or compliance. It is important to ensure all documents are accurately completed to facilitate smooth customs clearance in Colombia.
