Shipping Furniture from Izmir to Omaha via Ocean Freight

Shipping furniture sets and Home decor Requires Layered protection. You should Disassemble removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then cushion each component separately. Use Corner protectors on table tops, cabinets, and Mirrors, then place items in custom crates with secure internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Glass – Do Not Stack” and indicate the top orientation.

Large or heavy Mirrors are usually safer with freight services than standard parcel, because freight Allows palletization and Upright handling. For small, well-padded Wall decor under parcel size limits, You can use parcel carriers, but You should add reinforced packaging and insure for full value. Oversized Mirrors Should be crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive Furniture and home accessories, You should use Sealed inner bags around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging. In ocean containers, Avoid pallets directly against steel walls; instead, Leave a small air gap and use dry packs hung from lashing points. Choose Dry, indoor loading areas so Furniture sets are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and decorative items typically Require a Commercial invoice, packing list, and HS codes for each product type. You 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, verify if any Trademark documentation or Certificates of origin are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for Furniture and decorative items is usually based on weight, which often Does not reflect the actual value of designer pieces, Mirrors, or premium Furniture sets. We recommend purchasing Separate cargo insurance for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy includes breakage and moisture damage. This Helps ensure you can Recover the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.

Furniture & Home Décor items should be properly packaged to prevent damage during ocean transit. This includes using protective materials like bubble wrap and securing items in sturdy crates or boxes. Additionally, it is important to label all packages clearly to facilitate customs clearance.
