Shipping Toys from Rio Grande to Baltimore via Ocean Freight

When dealing with moisture-sensitive Toys, select a Layered approach: inner Poly bag or shrink wrap around the product or retail box, then a reinforced shipping box with Void fill. Add Desiccant packs for long-distance or ocean shipments of leisure products.

To reduce stacking damage for Medium-weight Toys and games, select Double-wall cartons, Limit pallet height, and add Corner posts. Mark pallets of Toys with “Single Stack Only” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.

Yes, many countries enforce Safety and labeling rules for certain leisure products. You should Verify that all games meet destination standards (such as CE marking) and that Documentation is available if customs requests it.
