When shipping from Wuhan, China to Istanbul, Turkey via ocean, anticipate significant delays during the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and peak typhoon activity (June-November). Build in extra buffer days for transit times due to potential port congestion and weather disruptions.

For moisture-sensitive assorted consumer products, 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 tableware 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 disposables 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, add 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 mixed cargo, 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, isolate 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, in-flight products 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, check with your carrier for additional dangerous goods documentation and packing rules.
Store packaging supplies 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.
