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

International shipments of high-value furnishings and Home decor typically call for a full commercial invoice, packing list, and HS codes for each product type.
