Shipping Sporting Goods from Baltimore to Salvador via Ocean Freight

For humidity-sensitive sporting goods, choose a two-stage approach: inner sealed plastic bag around the product or retail box, then a double-wall box with Void fill. Place Desiccant packs for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a dry van is usually adequate, but exporters should check door seals and use Container desiccants. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, Consider additional interior lining on routes with large temperature swings.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, choose higher burst-strength cartons, control pallet height, and use Corner posts. Prominently label pallets of Toys with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and confirm heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.
