Shipping Leisure Products from Barcelona to Fortaleza via Ocean Freight

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

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

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

Yes, many countries have Safety and labeling rules for children’s toys. Exporters should check that all Toys meet destination standards (such as CE marking) and that product certificates is available if customs requests it.
