Shipping Home Accessories from Mexico City to San Antonio via Ground Freight

Shipping Furniture and home accessories Requires Layered protection. Shippers should knock down removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then cushion each component separately. Use foam corners on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in custom crates with Tight internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Handle with Care” and indicate the this side up orientation.

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

For moisture-sensitive Furniture and Home decor, exporters should use Sealed inner bags around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging. In ocean containers, do not allow pallets directly against steel walls; instead, create a small air gap and use dry packs hung from lashing points. Choose sheltered loading bays so decorative item boxes are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and Home decor typically call for a Commercial invoice, packing list, and HS codes for each product type. Shippers should clearly describe items (for example, “wooden furniture,” “glass mirrors,” “metal wall decor”) and state materials to avoid customs delays. For designer or branded decorative items, verify if any IP documentation or COO documents are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for Furniture and Home decor is usually based on weight, which often is lower than the actual value of designer pieces, Mirrors, or premium Furniture sets. Most brokers recommend purchasing supplemental freight insurance for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy includes breakage and moisture damage. This better ensures you can be compensated for the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
