Shipping Furniture & Home Décor from Aliaga to Navegantes via Ocean Freight

Large or heavy glass wall decor are usually Better suited to freight services than standard parcel, because freight supports palletization and vertical handling. For small, well-padded decorative items under parcel size limits, shippers can use parcel carriers, but shippers should add reinforced packaging and insure for full value.

For moisture-sensitive furnishings and Home decor, exporters should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add moisture absorbers inside the packaging.

Choose Dry, indoor loading areas so Furniture sets are not exposed to rain during loading.

Shippers 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 Trademark documentation or Certificates of origin are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for household furniture and Home decor is usually based on weight, which often is lower than the actual value of designer pieces, wall decor, or premium home decoration items.
