Shipping Games from Oakland to New York via Ocean Freight

For humidity-sensitive Toys, select a two-stage approach: inner sealed plastic bag around the product or retail box, then a double-wall box with cushioning. Include silica gel for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a Standard dry container normally works, but exporters should check door seals and use drying agents. For premium toys with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, evaluate additional interior lining on routes with High humidity.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy Toys and games, select higher burst-strength cartons, control pallet height, and use edge protectors. Clearly mark pallets of Toys with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.

Yes, many countries have Safety and labeling rules for certain leisure products. Exporters should check that all games meet destination standards (such as ASTM/EN standards) and that product certificates is available if customs requests it. Some Sporting goods, such as items with aerosols, may also fall under Dangerous goods rules and require DG documentation.

Because toys and leisure products often have High retail value and are vulnerable to humidity issues, arranging shipment insurance is advisable. Cover your games at commercial invoice value and check that the policy includes Moisture-related damage, especially for ocean or long-term storage moves.

When shipping toys and sporting goods, it is important to ensure that all products are properly packaged to withstand ocean conditions. This includes using moisture-resistant materials and securing items to prevent movement during transit. Additionally, items should be labeled correctly, especially if they contain small parts or are subject to safety regulations.

Shipping toys and sporting goods domestically from Oakland to New York requires standard shipping documents, including a bill of lading and packing list. It is also important to comply with any applicable safety standards and regulations specific to the products being shipped, such as labeling requirements for children's toys.
