Shipping Sporting Goods from Salvador to Shenzhen via Ocean Freight

For humidity-sensitive Toys, choose a two-stage approach: inner sealed plastic bag around the product or retail box, then a reinforced shipping box with cushioning. Add Desiccant packs for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a Standard dry container is usually adequate, but exporters should check door seals and install drying agents. For High-value board games with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, Consider additional interior lining on routes with High humidity.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy Toys and games, choose higher burst-strength cartons, control pallet height, and add edge protectors. Mark 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 have Safety and labeling rules for children’s toys. Exporters should check that all games meet destination standards (such as ASTM/EN standards) and that Documentation 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 High retail value and are vulnerable to water exposure, arranging shipment insurance is advisable. Protect your games at Full replacement value and Confirm that the policy includes Moisture-related damage, especially for ocean or long-term storage moves.
