Shipping Wall Decor from Guayaquil to Fortaleza via Ocean Freight

Transporting Furniture and home accessories necessitates multi-step packing. Shippers should take apart 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 reinforced boxes with snug internal cushioning. Finally, conspicuously label all packages as “Handle with Care” and indicate the this side up orientation.

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

For moisture-sensitive furnishings and Home decor, exporters should use poly sheeting around each boxed or crated item, then add silica gel inside the packaging. In ocean containers, do not allow pallets directly against steel walls; instead, maintain 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 furnishings and Home decor typically call for a full commercial invoice, packing list, and tariff 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 home decor, confirm if any IP 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 is lower than the actual value of designer pieces, artistic decorative items, or premium home furnishings. Most brokers recommend purchasing all-risk coverage 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.

Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. Additionally, customs declarations and any necessary import permits must be prepared according to Brazilian regulations.
