Shipping Home Decorations from Xiaolan to Teoloyucan via Ocean Freight

Shipping Furniture and decorative items demands careful preparation. You should knock down removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then cushion each component separately. Use Corner protectors on table tops, cabinets, and Mirrors, then place items in Double-walled cartons with snug internal cushioning. Finally, conspicuously label all packages as “Handle with Care” and indicate the this side up orientation.

Large or heavy Mirrors are usually Better suited to freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and vertical handling. For small, well-padded decorative items under parcel size limits, You can use parcel carriers, but exporters should add reinforced packaging 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, shippers should use plastic liners 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 dry packs 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 need a detailed 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, verify 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 understates the actual value of designer pieces, wall decor, or premium home decoration items. We 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 Recover the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.

The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any applicable certificates of origin or compliance for the furniture and home décor items.
