Shipping Home Decorations from Tangier Med to Shenzhen via Ocean Freight

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 permits palletization and vertical handling. For small, well-padded decorative items under parcel size limits, shippers can use parcel carriers, but exporters should add double-boxing and insure for full value. Oversized wall decor panels Should be crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive Furniture and home accessories, shippers should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add moisture absorbers inside the packaging. In ocean containers, do not allow pallets directly against steel walls; instead, create a small air gap and use humidity absorbers hung from lashing points. Choose covered docks so Furniture sets are not exposed to rain during loading.
