Shipping Toys from Honolulu to New Orleans via Ocean Freight

For humidity-sensitive Toys, select a two-stage approach: inner sealed plastic bag around the product or retail box, then a Sturdy corrugated carton with Void fill. Place Desiccant packs for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a Standard dry container normally works, but exporters should check door seals and Add Container desiccants. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, Consider additional interior lining on routes with High humidity.

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

Yes, many countries have Safety and labeling rules for certain leisure products. Exporters should check that all Toys meet destination standards (such as CE marking) and that test reports is available if customs requests it. Some Sporting goods, such as items with aerosols, may also fall under Dangerous goods rules and require DG documentation.

Because toys and leisure products often have High retail value and are vulnerable to humidity issues, arranging shipment insurance is advisable. Insure your Toys at commercial invoice value and Confirm that the policy includes Moisture-related damage, especially for ocean or long-term storage moves.

When shipping toys and sporting goods, it is essential to ensure that items are properly packaged to withstand ocean conditions, including humidity and potential moisture exposure.
