Shipping Toys & Sporting Goods from Felixstowe to Xiamen via Ocean Freight

For humidity-sensitive games, select a multi-layer approach: inner poly sleeve around the product or retail box, then a double-wall box with Void fill. Include silica gel for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a general-purpose container normally works, but shippers should confirm door seals and use Container desiccants. For premium toys with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, evaluate additional interior lining on routes with large temperature swings.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy Toys and games, select stronger boxes, manage pallet height, and use Corner posts. Clearly mark pallets of Toys with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and confirm heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.

Yes, many countries have product safety and labeling rules for certain leisure products.
