Shipping Toys & Sporting Goods from Miami to Toronto via Ocean Freight

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a general-purpose container is usually adequate, but shippers should confirm door seals and install drying agents. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, look at Ventilated containers on routes with High humidity.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy Toys and games, choose stronger boxes, manage pallet height, and add edge protectors. Prominently label pallets of games with “Do Not Double Stack” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.
