Shipping Toys from Colombo to New York via Ocean Freight

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a Standard dry container is usually adequate, but exporters should confirm door seals and use Container desiccants. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, evaluate additional interior lining on routes with tropical climates.

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