Shipping Furniture Sets from Paranagua to Altamira via Ocean Freight

Shipping Furniture and decorative items demands Layered protection. Exporters should take apart removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then cushion each component separately. Use Corner protectors on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in reinforced boxes with secure internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Handle with Care” and indicate the top 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 shippers should add reinforced packaging and insure for full value. Oversized Mirrors 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, maintain a small air gap and use dry packs 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 Furniture sets and Home decor typically need a detailed 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 home decor, verify if any Trademark 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 understates the actual value of designer pieces, wall decor, or premium Furniture sets. Insurance providers typically recommend purchasing all-risk coverage for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy includes 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 important to ensure that items are properly packed and secured to prevent damage during transit. Using appropriate cushioning materials and sturdy packaging can help protect against impacts and moisture exposure during the journey.

Required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance specific to Furniture & Home Décor. It is essential to check both Brazilian and Mexican regulatory requirements to ensure all documentation is complete and accurate for smooth customs clearance.
