International shipments of high-value household furniture and Home decor typically call for a detailed invoice, packing list, and HS codes for each product type.

Standard carrier liability for furnishings and Home decor is usually based on weight, which often is lower than the actual value of designer pieces, wall decor, or premium Furniture sets.
