Shipping Games from Port Everglades to Los Angeles via Ocean Freight

When dealing with moisture-sensitive Toys, Use a two-stage approach: inner Poly bag or shrink wrap 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 Is sufficient, but exporters should Verify door seals and use drying agents. For premium toys with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, evaluate additional interior lining on routes with large temperature swings.

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

Exporters should Verify 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 restricted articles rules and require Special packing.

Cover your games at commercial invoice value and check that the policy includes humidity damage, especially for ocean or long-term storage moves.
