Shipping Toys & Sporting Goods from Guangzhou to Rio Grande via Ocean Freight

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a dry van Is sufficient, but exporters should Verify door seals and use drying agents. For premium toys with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, look at additional interior lining on routes with tropical climates.

Clearly mark pallets of games with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and make sure heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.
