When shipping from Hong Kong to Altamira, anticipate the East Asia rainy season (May-October), as heavy rainfall can cause delays in port operations and inland drayage. Increase waterproof coverings and moisture control measures for shipments during the wettest months (June-September). Additionally, book vessel space well in advance of the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion and delays. Prepare for extended transit times during the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November) and build in additional buffer days to accommodate potential disruptions.

For most Toys and sporting goods, a Standard dry container is usually adequate, but shippers should confirm door seals and install drying agents. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, evaluate additional interior lining on routes with tropical climates.
To reduce stacking damage for Medium-weight Toys and games, choose stronger boxes, manage pallet height, and add edge protectors. Prominently label pallets of Toys with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and make sure heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.
Yes, many countries enforce Safety and labeling rules for children’s toys. Shippers should confirm that all games meet destination standards (such as ASTM/EN standards) and that test reports is available if customs requests it. Some Sporting goods, such as items with aerosols, may also fall under hazardous materials rules and require declared classification.
