Shipping Leisure Products from Newark to Lazaro Cardenas via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Toys, select a two-stage approach: inner poly sleeve around the product or retail box, then a double-wall box with Void fill. Place moisture absorbers for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.

For most Toys and sporting goods, a Standard dry container normally works, but exporters should confirm door seals and use Container desiccants. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, look at additional interior lining on routes with High humidity.

To reduce stacking damage for Medium-weight Toys and games, select higher burst-strength cartons, manage pallet height, and use Corner posts. Prominently label pallets of games with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.
