To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy Toys and games, Use stronger boxes, manage pallet height, and use edge protectors. Mark pallets of games with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and make sure heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.

Shippers should confirm that all Toys meet destination standards (such as ASTM/EN standards) and that Documentation is available if customs requests it. Some sports equipment, such as items with aerosols, may also fall under hazardous materials rules and require DG documentation.
