Use edge guards on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in Double-walled cartons with secure internal cushioning. Finally, conspicuously label all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the Upright orientation.
Large or heavy Mirrors are usually safer with freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and Upright handling. For small, well-padded home decor items under parcel size limits, You can use parcel carriers, but exporters should add Extra cushioning and insure for full value. Oversized wall decor panels are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.
For moisture-sensitive Furniture and home accessories, shippers should use Sealed inner bags around each boxed or crated item, then add silica gel inside the packaging.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and decorative items typically need a Commercial invoice, packing list, and tariff codes for each product type.

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

This helps guarantee you can be compensated for the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
