Shipping Mirrors from Guayaquil to Callao via Ocean Freight

Moving household furniture and Home decor necessitates multi-step packing. Exporters should take apart 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 custom crates with snug internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Handle with Care” and indicate the this side up orientation.

Large or heavy framed decorative items are usually more appropriate for freight services than standard parcel, because freight Allows palletization and stable handling. For small, well-padded home decor items under parcel size limits, it is possible to use parcel carriers, but shippers 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, You should use poly sheeting around each boxed or crated item, then add silica gel inside the packaging. In ocean containers, never place pallets directly against steel walls; instead, maintain 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 Require a full commercial invoice, packing list, and tariff codes 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 home decor, 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 Does not reflect the actual value of designer pieces, artistic decorative items, or premium home furnishings. Insurance providers typically recommend purchasing all-risk coverage 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.

Furniture & Home Décor items should be properly packaged to withstand ocean freight conditions, including moisture and vibrations. Items should be secured in containers to prevent shifting during transit, and fragile pieces should be cushioned adequately.
