Shipping Home Decorations from Haiphong to Xiaolan via Ocean Freight

Shipping household furniture and home accessories necessitates careful preparation. Exporters should Disassemble removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then protect each component separately.

Large or heavy Mirrors are usually more appropriate for freight services than standard parcel, because freight supports palletization and stable handling. For small, well-padded decorative items under parcel size limits, it is possible to use parcel carriers, but You 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 Furniture and decorative items, exporters should use poly sheeting around each boxed or crated item, then add moisture absorbers inside the packaging. In ocean containers, never place pallets directly against steel walls; instead, Leave 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 Furniture sets and home accessories typically call for a full 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 Furnishings, confirm if any IP documentation or origin statements are required by the destination country.
