Shipping Toys from Guangzhou to Tampa via Ocean Freight

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a Standard dry container normally works, but exporters should check door seals and Add drying agents. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, look at enhanced humidity control on routes with High humidity.

Prominently label pallets of games with “Single Stack Only” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.
