When dealing with moisture-sensitive sporting goods, choose a two-stage approach: inner poly sleeve around the product or retail box, then a double-wall box with cushioning. Place moisture absorbers for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.
For most Toys and sporting goods, a dry van is usually adequate, but exporters should confirm door seals and use drying agents. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, look at additional interior lining on routes with large temperature swings.
To reduce stacking damage for Medium-weight sports equipment and leisure products, choose higher burst-strength cartons, manage pallet height, and use edge protectors. Prominently label pallets of games with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and confirm heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.
Yes, many countries enforce consumer safety rules for children’s toys. Exporters should confirm that all games meet destination standards (such as ASTM/EN standards) and that test reports is available if customs requests it. Some sports equipment, such as items with aerosols, may also fall under restricted articles rules and require declared classification.
Because Toys and games often have strong resale value and are vulnerable to water exposure, arranging shipment insurance makes sense. Cover your games at commercial invoice value and verify that the policy includes humidity damage, especially for ocean or long-term storage moves.
