Large or heavy Mirrors are usually safer with freight services than standard parcel, because freight supports palletization and vertical handling. For small, well-padded decorative items under parcel size limits, You can use parcel carriers, but shippers should add double-boxing and insure for full value. Oversized glass furnishings Should be crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.
For moisture-sensitive Furniture and home accessories, exporters should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add moisture absorbers inside the packaging.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and decorative items typically call for a detailed invoice, packing list, and customs classification 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, confirm if any IP documentation or origin statements are required by the destination country.
Standard carrier liability for Furniture and decorative items is usually based on weight, which often is lower than the actual value of designer pieces, wall decor, or premium home decoration items. We recommend purchasing all-risk coverage for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy protects against breakage and moisture damage. This better ensures you can claim the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
