Shipping Mixed Cargo from Jebel Ali to Guayaquil via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive General merchandise, Start by using sturdy, double-wall cartons sized closely to the contents. Line each box with a moisture-barrier bag and seal it before closing the carton. Most shippers recommend separating Kitchen accessories and other fragile miscellaneous items with dividers or bubble wrap, then filling voids with paper or foam so nothing moves. Finally, protect the palletized load with stretch film, including a top sheet, to reduce exposure to humidity and light rain during handling.

Yes, you can ship Plastic goods with heavier Other goods, but you need to control how they are combined. Place heavier cartons at the bottom of the pallet and lighter boxes with plastic tableware on top. Inside each carton, Use inner boxes or dividers so sharp or rigid items do not deform softer plastics. Most carriers recommend limiting stack height and marking “Do Not Crush” when mixed cartons contain fragile plastic tableware or thin packaging materials.

For medium-weight Consolidated goods, Choose double-wall boxes that can handle stacking in trucks or containers. Smaller, well-filled cartons generally perform better than oversized boxes with lots of empty space. For shipments that include containers, Separate sharp-edged items so they do not cut into neighboring variety goods. On pallets, apply corner protectors and strapping to keep the load square and stable, especially for mixed consumer goods moving through multiple hubs.

In most cases, Airline supplies shipped with other General merchandise only require standard commercial documentation, but accuracy is important. Shippers should list each product group separately on the commercial invoice and packing list, indicating quantities and weights for items like plastic tableware. Use clear, non-technical descriptions and add handling marks such as “Keep Dry” or “Fragile” where appropriate. If any component of the travel kits (for example, aerosols or batteries) is regulated, Consult your carrier for additional dangerous goods documentation and packing rules.

Store Packaging materials and other Miscellaneous items in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and open dock doors. Keep cartons on pallets or shelving rather than directly on the floor to avoid moisture wicking into boxes, especially for moisture-sensitive disposables. Our team recommends maintaining good airflow and using dehumidifiers or desiccant where humidity is high. Rotate stock so older boxes and plastic goods are used first, ensuring they retain enough strength for safe stacking and transport.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates for customs clearance in both the UAE and Ecuador.
