Shipping Furniture from Atlanta to Rio Grande via Ocean Freight

Shipping Furniture and home accessories demands multi-step packing. Shippers should take apart 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 secure internal cushioning. Finally, conspicuously label all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the this side up orientation.

Large or heavy Mirrors are usually Better suited to freight services than standard parcel, because freight supports palletization and vertical handling. For small, well-padded home decor items under parcel size limits, shippers can use parcel carriers, but shippers 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 decor, exporters should use plastic liners 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 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 Home decor typically call for a detailed 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, verify if any Trademark documentation or Certificates of origin are required by the destination country.
