Shipping Furniture from Vancouver to Suape via Ocean Freight

Transporting Furniture and decorative items Requires Layered protection. Exporters should knock down removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then cushion each component separately. Use Corner protectors on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in custom crates with secure internal cushioning. Finally, Label all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the Upright orientation.

Large or heavy glass wall decor are usually Better suited to freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and Upright handling. For small, well-padded Wall decor under parcel size limits, it is possible to use parcel carriers, but exporters should add reinforced packaging and insure for full value. Oversized Mirrors are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive furnishings and Home decor, shippers should use Sealed inner bags around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging. In ocean containers, never place pallets directly against steel walls; instead, create a small air gap and use dry packs hung from lashing points. Choose Dry, indoor loading areas so decorative item boxes are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value furnishings and Home decor typically need a Commercial invoice, packing list, and HS 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 decorative items, verify if any Trademark documentation or COO documents are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for household furniture and Home decor is usually based on weight, which often understates the actual value of designer pieces, Mirrors, or premium Furniture sets. Insurance providers typically recommend purchasing supplemental freight insurance for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy includes breakage and moisture damage. This Helps ensure you can be compensated for the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.

Furniture and home décor items should be properly packed to withstand ocean freight conditions, including moisture and potential impacts during transit. Use sturdy packaging materials and consider using protective coverings to prevent damage.
