Shipping Furniture Sets from Bangkok to Xiaolan via Ocean Freight

Moving household furniture and home accessories necessitates multi-step packing. Shippers should knock down removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then protect each component separately. Use foam corners on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in custom crates with secure internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Glass – Do Not Stack” and indicate the top orientation.

Large or heavy framed decorative items are usually more appropriate for freight services than standard parcel, because freight supports palletization and stable handling. For small, well-padded home decor items under parcel size limits, shippers can use parcel carriers, but exporters 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 household furniture and decorative items, exporters should use poly sheeting 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, create a small air gap and use humidity absorbers hung from lashing points. Choose sheltered loading bays so decorative item boxes are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value household furniture and home accessories typically call for a full 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 decorative items, confirm if any IP documentation or COO documents are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for furnishings and home accessories is usually based on weight, which often is lower than the actual value of designer pieces, artistic decorative items, or premium home furnishings. Most brokers recommend purchasing supplemental freight insurance for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy protects against breakage and moisture damage. This better ensures you can be compensated for the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.

When shipping Furniture & Home Décor via ocean freight, it is important to ensure that items are well-packaged and secured to prevent damage during transit. Use sturdy packaging materials, and consider using pallets for larger furniture sets. Additionally, be aware of the weight and dimensions of the items, as they can affect loading and unloading processes at ports.

Shipping Furniture & Home Décor from Bangkok to Xiaolan requires compliance with both Thai export regulations and Chinese import regulations. This includes obtaining the necessary export permits from Thailand and ensuring that the items meet Chinese customs standards. Specific documentation such as a commercial invoice, packing list, and possibly a phytosanitary certificate may be required, especially for items made from natural materials.
