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

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

For designer or branded decorative items, confirm if any Trademark documentation or Certificates of origin are required by the destination country.
