Shipping Furniture & Home Décor from Anagni to Bogota via Ocean Freight

Shipping furniture sets and home accessories demands Layered protection. Exporters should knock down removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then cushion each component separately. Use Corner protectors on table tops, cabinets, and Mirrors, then place items in reinforced boxes with Tight 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 supports palletization and vertical handling. For small, well-padded Wall decor under parcel size limits, it is possible to use parcel carriers, but exporters should add reinforced packaging and insure for full value. Oversized Mirrors Should be crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive Furniture and home accessories, exporters should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging. In ocean containers, never place pallets directly against steel walls; instead, create a small air gap and use dry packs hung from lashing points. Choose Dry, indoor loading areas so Furniture sets are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and decorative items typically call for a detailed invoice, packing list, and HS 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 decorative items, verify if any Trademark documentation or Certificates of origin 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, wall decor, or premium Furniture sets. Insurance providers typically recommend purchasing supplemental freight insurance for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy includes breakage and moisture damage. This Helps ensure you can Recover the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.

Furniture & Home Décor items should be properly packaged to withstand ocean freight conditions, including moisture and potential impact during transit. Using sturdy materials and ensuring items are secured in containers can help prevent damage.
