Shipping Games from Manzanillo to Detroit via Ocean Freight

For humidity-sensitive sporting goods, select a multi-layer approach: inner poly sleeve around the product or retail box, then a Sturdy corrugated carton with Void fill. Place moisture absorbers for long-distance or ocean shipments of leisure products.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a dry van normally works, but shippers should confirm door seals and Add Container desiccants. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, look at enhanced humidity control on routes with High humidity.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, select stronger boxes, manage pallet height, and Place Corner posts. Prominently label pallets of games with “Single Stack Only” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.

Yes, many countries have consumer safety rules for certain leisure products. Shippers should confirm that all Toys meet destination standards (such as CE marking) and that test reports is available if customs requests it.
