Shipping Home Decorations from Tokyo to Manaus via Ocean Freight

Moving Furniture and Home decor Requires Layered protection. Shippers should knock down removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then Wrap each component separately. Use foam corners on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in Double-walled cartons with secure internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the top orientation.

Large or heavy framed decorative items are usually Better suited to freight services than standard parcel, because freight Allows palletization and Upright handling. For small, well-padded Wall decor under parcel size limits, shippers can use parcel carriers, but exporters should add Extra cushioning and insure for full value. Oversized glass furnishings are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive household furniture and Home decor, You should use Sealed inner bags around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging. In ocean containers, do not allow pallets directly against steel walls; instead, create a small air gap and use Container desiccants hung from lashing points. Choose sheltered loading bays so decorative item boxes are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value household furniture and Home decor typically Require a Commercial invoice, packing list, and HS codes for each product type. Shippers 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 COO documents are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for furnishings and Home decor is usually based on weight, which often Does not reflect the actual value of designer pieces, Mirrors, or premium Furniture sets. Most brokers 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 be compensated for the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
