For most sports equipment and leisure products, a general-purpose container is usually adequate, but exporters should check door seals and Add Container desiccants. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, Consider enhanced humidity control on routes with High humidity.
To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, choose higher burst-strength cartons, control pallet height, and Place Corner posts. Prominently label pallets of Toys with “Single Stack Only” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.
