Shipping Furniture Sets from Lazaro Cardenas to Mundra via Ocean Freight

Moving household furniture and Home decor Requires Layered protection. You should Disassemble removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then protect each component separately. Use Corner protectors on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in reinforced boxes with snug internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the Upright orientation.

Large or heavy framed decorative items are usually more appropriate for 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 double-boxing and insure for full value. Oversized Mirrors are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive household furniture and decorative items, 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 humidity absorbers 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 household furniture and home accessories 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, confirm if any Trademark documentation or COO documents are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for furnishings and home accessories 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 protects against breakage and moisture damage. This Helps ensure you can be compensated for the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.

When shipping Furniture & Home Décor, it is important to ensure that items are properly packed to prevent damage during the long ocean journey. Use sturdy packaging materials and consider the weight and fragility of the items. Additionally, ensure that larger furniture pieces are disassembled if possible to optimize space and reduce the risk of damage.

Regulatory requirements include obtaining necessary export documentation from Mexico, such as a commercial invoice and packing list, as well as complying with Indian customs regulations, which may require additional documentation like a bill of entry and specific import permits for certain materials used in furniture and home décor.
