Shipping Home Decorations from Callao to Boston via Ocean Freight

Transporting Furniture and decorative items necessitates Layered protection. Shippers should knock down removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then protect each component separately.

Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Glass – Do Not Stack” and indicate the Upright orientation.

Large or heavy glass wall decor are usually Better suited to freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and stable handling. For small, well-padded Wall decor under parcel size limits, shippers can use parcel carriers, but exporters should add double-boxing and insure for full value. Oversized wall decor panels are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive furnishings and Home decor, shippers should use poly sheeting around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs 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 covered docks so home decor cartons are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value furnishings and Home decor typically need a full commercial invoice, packing list, and HS 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 brand documentation or origin statements are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for household furniture and Home decor is usually based on weight, which often understates the actual value of designer pieces, artistic decorative items, or premium Furniture sets. 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 helps guarantee you can claim the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
