Shipping Home Decorations from Navegantes to Tampa via Ocean Freight

Moving furniture sets and decorative items Requires careful preparation. You should knock down 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 custom crates with secure internal cushioning. Finally, Label all packages as “Glass – Do Not Stack” and indicate the Upright orientation.

Large or heavy framed decorative items are usually safer with freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and Upright handling. For small, well-padded decorative items under parcel size limits, You can use parcel carriers, but exporters 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 home accessories, shippers should use Sealed inner bags around each boxed or crated item, then add moisture absorbers inside the packaging. In ocean containers, Avoid pallets directly against steel walls; instead, create 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 decorative items typically need a Commercial 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 decorative items, confirm if any Trademark documentation or COO documents are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for furnishings and decorative items is usually based on weight, which often understates the actual value of designer pieces, Mirrors, or premium home decoration items. We recommend purchasing supplemental freight 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 via ocean freight, it is essential to use appropriate packing materials to ensure protection against moisture and impact. Items should be securely packaged, potentially disassembled if necessary, and labeled correctly to facilitate customs clearance.
