Shipping Mirrors from Tianjin to Puerto Barrios via Ocean Freight

Shipping Furniture and home accessories necessitates multi-step packing. Exporters should take apart removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then Wrap each component separately. Use Corner protectors on table tops, cabinets, and Mirrors, then place items in custom crates with snug internal cushioning. Finally, Label all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the this side up orientation.

Large or heavy Mirrors are usually Better suited to freight services than standard parcel, because freight supports palletization and stable handling. For small, well-padded home decor items under parcel size limits, it is possible to use parcel carriers, but shippers should add Extra cushioning and insure for full value. Oversized Mirrors Should be crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive Furniture and Home decor, exporters should use poly sheeting around each boxed or crated item, then add silica gel inside the packaging. In ocean containers, never place pallets directly against steel walls; instead, maintain a small air gap and use Container desiccants hung from lashing points. Choose Dry, indoor loading areas so Furniture sets are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and Home decor typically call for a full commercial invoice, packing list, and tariff codes 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, Check if any Trademark documentation or Certificates of origin are required by the destination country.

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