Shipping Games from Paranagua to Omaha via Ocean Freight

For humidity-sensitive sporting goods, choose a multi-layer approach: inner sealed plastic bag around the product or retail box, then a double-wall box 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 is usually adequate, but shippers should check door seals and use 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, choose stronger boxes, control pallet height, and use 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 children’s toys. Shippers should check that all Toys meet destination standards (such as CE marking) and that test reports is available if customs requests it. Some sports equipment, such as items with pressurized containers, may also fall under Dangerous goods rules and require DG documentation.

Because toys and leisure products often have strong resale value and are vulnerable to water exposure, taking out cargo insurance is advisable. Cover your Toys at commercial invoice value and verify that the policy Covers Moisture-related damage, especially for ocean or long-term storage moves.

When shipping toys and sporting goods, it is important to ensure that products are properly packaged to prevent damage during ocean transit. Additionally, items should comply with safety and regulatory standards specific to both Brazil and the United States, particularly for toys that may have age restrictions or safety certifications.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. Additionally, shippers must ensure compliance with U.S. regulations by providing necessary certifications for toys and sporting goods, such as compliance with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards.
