Shipping Mirrors from Genoa to Ningbo via Ocean Freight

Moving household furniture and decorative items demands careful preparation. You should knock down removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then cushion each component separately. Use foam corners on table tops, cabinets, and wall decor panels, then place items in reinforced boxes with secure internal cushioning. Finally, conspicuously label 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 permits palletization and vertical handling. For small, well-padded decorative items under parcel size limits, You can use parcel carriers, but exporters should add reinforced packaging 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, shippers should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add moisture absorbers inside the packaging. In ocean containers, Avoid pallets directly against steel walls; instead, create a small air gap and use dry packs 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 need a detailed invoice, packing list, and customs classification for each product type. You 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, verify 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 understates the actual value of designer pieces, wall decor, or premium home decoration items. We recommend purchasing supplemental freight insurance for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy includes breakage and moisture damage. This better ensures you can claim the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
