Shipping Sports Equipment from Kobe to Toronto via Ocean Freight

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a dry van Is sufficient, but exporters should Verify door seals and Add humidity absorbers. For High-value board games with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, evaluate additional interior lining on routes with tropical climates.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, Use higher burst-strength cartons, Limit pallet height, and Place vertical supports. Mark pallets of Toys with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and make sure heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.

Insure your sporting goods at Full replacement value and check that the policy includes water damage, especially for ocean or long-term storage moves.
