Shipping Sporting Goods from Vancouver to Navegantes via Ocean Freight

When dealing with moisture-sensitive sporting goods, Use a two-stage approach: inner Poly bag or shrink wrap around the product or retail box, then a Sturdy corrugated carton with Void fill. Include silica gel for long-distance or ocean shipments of Sports equipment.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a dry van Is sufficient, but exporters should Verify door seals and Add Container desiccants. For premium toys with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, evaluate Ventilated containers on routes with large temperature swings.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, Use higher burst-strength cartons, Limit pallet height, and Place Corner posts. Clearly mark pallets of Toys with “Do Not Double Stack” where appropriate, and confirm heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.
