Shipping Decorative Items from Altamira to Denver via Ocean Freight

Shipping furniture sets and decorative items Requires multi-step packing. Shippers should take apart removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then protect each component separately. Use foam corners on table tops, cabinets, and wall decor panels, then place items in custom crates with secure internal cushioning. Finally, Label all packages as “Handle with Care” and indicate the Upright orientation.

Large or heavy Mirrors are usually safer with freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and Upright handling. For small, well-padded home decor items under parcel size limits, shippers can use parcel carriers, but shippers should add double-boxing and insure for full value. Oversized glass furnishings are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive Furniture and home accessories, shippers should use Sealed inner bags around each boxed or crated item, then add silica gel inside the packaging. In ocean containers, do not allow pallets directly against steel walls; instead, maintain a small air gap and use humidity absorbers hung from lashing points. Choose sheltered loading bays so home decor cartons are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and decorative items typically need a Commercial invoice, packing list, and tariff codes for each product type. 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, confirm if any IP documentation or origin statements are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for Furniture and decorative items is usually based on weight, which often understates the actual value of designer pieces, Mirrors, or premium home furnishings. Most brokers recommend purchasing all-risk coverage for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy protects against breakage and moisture damage. This better ensures you can claim the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.

When shipping Furniture & Home Décor, items should be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Fragile items may require additional cushioning and support, while larger furniture pieces should be disassembled if possible to optimize space and reduce the risk of breakage.

Shipping Furniture & Home Décor between Mexico and the United States requires compliance with customs regulations, including proper documentation such as a bill of lading, commercial invoice, and any necessary certificates for treated wood products to prevent pest introduction.
