Shipping Furniture & Home Décor from Izmir to Newark via Ocean Freight

Moving Furniture and decorative items necessitates Layered protection. Exporters should knock down removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then Wrap each component separately. Use Corner protectors on table tops, cabinets, and wall decor panels, then place items in Double-walled cartons with secure internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Handle with Care” and indicate the top orientation.

Large or heavy framed decorative items are usually Better suited to freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and stable handling. For small, well-padded Wall decor under parcel size limits, it is possible to use parcel carriers, but exporters should add Extra cushioning and insure for full value. Oversized Mirrors Should be crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive household furniture and Home decor, shippers should use poly sheeting around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging. In ocean containers, never place pallets directly against steel walls; instead, create a small air gap and use Container desiccants hung from lashing points. Choose Dry, indoor loading areas so home decor cartons are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value household furniture and Home decor typically need a full commercial invoice, packing list, and HS 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 decorative items, Check if any Trademark documentation or origin statements are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for furnishings and Home decor is usually based on weight, which often understates the actual value of designer pieces, artistic decorative items, or premium Furniture sets. Insurance providers typically recommend purchasing supplemental freight insurance for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy Covers breakage and moisture damage. This Helps ensure you can claim the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
