Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Glass – Do Not Stack” and indicate the this side up orientation.

Large or heavy Mirrors are usually Better suited to freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and vertical handling. For small, well-padded Wall decor under parcel size limits, it is possible to use parcel carriers, but exporters should add double-boxing 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, shippers should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging. In ocean containers, never place pallets directly against steel walls; instead, create a small air gap and use humidity absorbers hung from lashing points. Choose sheltered loading bays so decorative item boxes are not exposed to rain during loading.

For designer or branded decorative items, confirm if any IP documentation or COO documents are required by the destination country.
