Shipping Furniture Sets from Izmir to Fortaleza via Ocean Freight

Moving furniture sets and decorative items Requires careful preparation. Exporters 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 Double-walled cartons with secure internal cushioning. Finally, conspicuously label all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the this side up orientation.

Large or heavy framed decorative items are usually safer with freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and Upright handling. For small, well-padded decorative items under parcel size limits, it is possible to 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 household furniture and home accessories, shippers 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, 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 household furniture and decorative items typically need 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 home decor, confirm if any IP documentation or origin statements are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for furnishings and decorative items is usually based on weight, which often understates the actual value of designer pieces, Mirrors, or premium home decoration items. Insurance providers typically 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.
