Shipping Decorative Items from Shunde to Veracruz via Ocean Freight

Shipping furniture sets and home accessories Requires careful preparation. You should knock down removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then Wrap each component separately. Use foam corners on table tops, cabinets, and wall decor panels, then place items in Double-walled cartons with Tight internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the Upright orientation.

Large or heavy Mirrors are usually safer with freight services than standard parcel, because freight supports palletization and Upright handling. For small, well-padded decorative items under parcel size limits, You can use parcel carriers, but exporters should add Extra cushioning and insure for full value. Oversized glass furnishings Should be crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive Furniture and home accessories, exporters should use Sealed inner bags around each boxed or crated item, then add moisture absorbers inside the packaging. In ocean containers, Avoid pallets directly against steel walls; instead, create a small air gap and use Container desiccants 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 Commercial invoice, packing list, and customs classification for each product type. You should clearly describe items (for example, “wooden furniture,” “glass mirrors,” “metal wall decor”) and state materials to avoid customs delays. For designer or branded decorative items, Check 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, Mirrors, or premium home decoration items. We recommend purchasing supplemental freight insurance for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy Covers breakage and moisture damage. This better ensures you can claim the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
