Shipping Home Accessories from Anagni to Atlanta via Ocean Freight

Shipping household furniture and decorative items demands multi-step packing. Exporters should take apart removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then protect each component separately. Use foam corners on table tops, cabinets, and Mirrors, then place items in reinforced boxes with secure internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the this side up orientation.

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

For moisture-sensitive Furniture and decorative items, shippers should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add silica gel inside the packaging. In ocean containers, never place pallets directly against steel walls; instead, maintain a small air gap and use humidity absorbers hung from lashing points. Choose sheltered loading bays so Furniture sets are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and home accessories typically need a detailed invoice, packing list, and tariff codes 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, confirm if any IP documentation or Certificates of origin are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for Furniture and home accessories is usually based on weight, which often understates the actual value of designer pieces, wall decor, or premium home furnishings. Insurance providers typically 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 Recover the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
