Shipping Furnishings from Kaohsiung to Santos via Ocean Freight

Transporting Furniture and Home decor demands Layered protection. You should take apart removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then cushion each component separately. Use Corner protectors on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in custom crates with secure internal cushioning. Finally, conspicuously label all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the top orientation.

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

For moisture-sensitive furnishings and Home decor, You should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging. In ocean containers, Avoid pallets directly against steel walls; instead, maintain a small air gap and use dry packs hung from lashing points. Choose Dry, indoor loading areas so decorative item boxes are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value furnishings and Home decor typically Require a detailed 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 home decor, verify if any Trademark documentation or COO documents are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for household furniture and Home decor is usually based on weight, which often Does not reflect the actual value of designer pieces, wall decor, or premium Furniture sets. We recommend purchasing all-risk coverage for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy includes breakage and moisture damage. This Helps ensure you can be compensated for the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.

Furniture and home décor items should be securely packaged to prevent damage during the long ocean freight journey.
