When shipping from Manila to Toronto via ocean, be mindful of the monsoon season (May-November) which can cause port congestion and delays; add buffer days to schedules. During peak export periods (July-October), book vessel space early to avoid capacity issues and prepare for longer transit times due to congestion. Additionally, plan for potential disruptions during the holiday season (October-December) by coordinating closely with carriers and adjusting cut-off times to ensure timely deliveries.

For moisture-sensitive General merchandise, first 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. We 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, Wrap 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 general merchandise, but you need to control how they are combined. Place heavier cartons at the bottom of the pallet and lighter boxes with Plastic products on top. Inside each carton, Use inner boxes or dividers so sharp or rigid items do not deform softer plastics. We 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, use 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 Packaging materials, Separate sharp-edged items so they do not cut into neighboring Miscellaneous items. On pallets, add 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 assorted consumer products 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 Packaging supplies. 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 variety goods 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. We recommend 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.
Mixed Consumer Goods require careful handling to ensure that items are properly secured and protected during ocean transport. This includes using appropriate packaging materials to prevent damage from moisture and shifting during transit. Additionally, proper load distribution is essential to comply with shipping regulations and to maintain vessel stability.
Exporting Mixed Consumer Goods from the Philippines to Canada requires compliance with both countries' regulations. This includes obtaining necessary export permits from the Philippines' Bureau of Customs and ensuring that goods meet Canada’s import regulations, including labeling and safety standards. Import documentation such as a bill of lading, commercial invoice, and packing list is also necessary for customs clearance in Canada.
