Shipping Wall Decor from Rio Grande to Mexico City via Ocean Freight

Moving household furniture and decorative items Requires multi-step packing. Shippers should take apart removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then protect each component separately. Use Corner protectors on table tops, cabinets, and wall decor panels, then place items in custom crates with Tight internal cushioning. Finally, Label all packages as “Handle with Care” and indicate the Upright orientation.

Large or heavy framed decorative items are usually more appropriate for freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and Upright handling. For small, well-padded home decor items under parcel size limits, shippers can use parcel carriers, but shippers 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 decorative items, shippers should use Sealed inner bags around each boxed or crated item, then add silica gel inside the packaging. In ocean containers, do not allow pallets directly against steel walls; instead, maintain a small air gap and use humidity absorbers hung from lashing points. Choose Dry, indoor loading areas so home decor cartons are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value household furniture and home accessories typically need a Commercial invoice, packing list, and tariff codes for each product type. Shippers 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, confirm if any Trademark documentation or origin statements are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for furnishings and home accessories is usually based on weight, which often understates the actual value of designer pieces, Mirrors, or premium home furnishings. Most brokers recommend purchasing all-risk coverage for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy protects against breakage and moisture damage. This Helps ensure you can claim the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.

When shipping furniture and home décor via ocean freight, it is crucial to ensure that items are properly packaged to prevent damage during transit. This includes using protective materials such as bubble wrap, foam, and sturdy crates. Additionally, items should be secured in containers to minimize movement and risk of breakage.
