Shipping Home Decorations from Colon to Xiaolan via Ocean Freight

Moving household furniture and Home decor Requires careful preparation. Exporters should knock down removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then protect each component separately. Use foam corners on table tops, cabinets, and wall decor panels, then place items in custom crates with Tight internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the Upright orientation.

Large or heavy framed decorative items are usually more appropriate for freight services than standard parcel, because freight Allows palletization and Upright handling. For small, well-padded decorative items under parcel size limits, it is possible to use parcel carriers, but exporters should add double-boxing and insure for full value. Oversized glass furnishings Should be crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive household furniture and decorative items, You should use Sealed inner bags around each boxed or crated item, then add moisture absorbers inside the packaging. In ocean containers, never place pallets directly against steel walls; instead, create a small air gap and use humidity absorbers hung from lashing points. Choose sheltered loading bays so home decor cartons are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value household furniture and home accessories typically Require a Commercial invoice, packing list, and customs classification for each product type. Exporters 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 origin statements are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for furnishings and home accessories is usually based on weight, which often Does not reflect the actual value of designer pieces, Mirrors, or premium home decoration items. Insurance providers typically 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 claim the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
