Shipping Sporting Goods from Izmir to Buenaventura via Ocean Freight

For humidity-sensitive Toys, choose a multi-layer approach: inner poly sleeve around the product or retail box, then a Sturdy corrugated carton with Void fill. Place silica gel for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a Standard dry container is usually adequate, but shippers should confirm door seals and Add Container desiccants. For collector leisure products 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, choose stronger boxes, manage pallet height, and Place Corner posts. Prominently label pallets of games with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and confirm heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.
