Shipping Home Decor from Miami to Mexico City via Ocean Freight

Transporting household furniture and Home decor necessitates Layered protection. Exporters should Disassemble removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then Wrap each component separately. Use foam corners on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in reinforced boxes with Tight internal cushioning. Finally, Label all packages as “Glass – Do Not Stack” and indicate the this side up orientation.

Large or heavy glass wall decor are usually more appropriate for freight services than standard parcel, because freight Allows palletization and stable handling. For small, well-padded Wall decor under parcel size limits, it is possible to use parcel carriers, but You should add Extra cushioning and insure for full value. Oversized glass furnishings are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive furnishings and decorative items, You should use poly sheeting around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging. In ocean containers, never place pallets directly against steel walls; instead, Leave a small air gap and use Container desiccants hung from lashing points. Choose sheltered loading bays so decorative item boxes are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value furnishings and home accessories typically Require a full commercial invoice, packing list, and HS codes for each product type. Exporters 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, Check if any IP documentation or COO documents are required by the destination country.
