Shipping Sporting Goods from Salvador to Manaus via Ocean Freight

When dealing with moisture-sensitive sporting goods, choose a two-stage approach: inner sealed plastic bag around the product or retail box, then a reinforced shipping box with Void fill. Place Desiccant packs for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a dry van is usually adequate, but exporters should check door seals and install Container desiccants. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, Consider additional interior lining on routes with High humidity.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, choose higher burst-strength cartons, control pallet height, and add Corner posts. Prominently label pallets of Toys with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.

Yes, many countries enforce consumer safety rules for children’s toys. Exporters should check that all games meet destination standards (such as CE marking) and that test reports is available if customs requests it. Some Sporting goods, such as items with aerosols, may also fall under Dangerous goods rules and require declared classification.

Because toys and leisure products often have strong resale value and are vulnerable to water exposure, arranging shipment insurance is advisable. Protect your Toys at commercial invoice value and Confirm that the policy includes Moisture-related damage, especially for ocean or long-term storage moves.

When shipping Toys & Sporting Goods, it is important to ensure that the products are properly packaged to prevent damage during ocean transport.
