Oversized glass furnishings Should be crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive household furniture and home accessories, exporters should use poly sheeting around each boxed or crated item, then add silica gel inside the packaging.

Choose sheltered loading bays so Furniture sets are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value household furniture and decorative items typically call for a full commercial invoice, packing list, and tariff codes for each product type.
