Shipping Furnishings from San Juan to Navegantes via Ocean Freight

Shipping furniture sets and home accessories necessitates careful preparation. Exporters should take apart removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then protect each component separately. Use foam corners on table tops, cabinets, and wall decor panels, then place items in custom crates with Tight internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Glass – Do Not Stack” and indicate the top orientation.

Large or heavy Mirrors are usually safer with freight services than standard parcel, because freight supports palletization and stable handling. For small, well-padded decorative items under parcel size limits, it is possible to use parcel carriers, but shippers 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 accessories, exporters should use poly sheeting around each boxed or crated item, then add moisture absorbers inside the packaging. In ocean containers, never place pallets directly against steel walls; instead, maintain a small air gap and use humidity absorbers hung from lashing points. Choose sheltered loading bays so home decor cartons are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and decorative items typically call for a full commercial invoice, packing list, and customs classification 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, confirm if any IP documentation or origin statements are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for Furniture and decorative items is usually based on weight, which often is lower than the actual value of designer pieces, artistic decorative items, or premium home decoration items. Insurance providers typically recommend purchasing all-risk coverage for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy protects against breakage and moisture damage. This better ensures you can claim the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.

When shipping Furniture & Home Décor via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure items are properly packaged to withstand the ocean environment. This includes using sturdy materials and protective padding to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, items should be securely loaded in containers to avoid shifting.
