Book trucking capacity and vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) to avoid rollovers. Anticipate longer transit times during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5), so allow for additional buffer days in your schedules.

For moisture-sensitive Toys, choose a multi-layer approach: inner poly sleeve around the product or retail box, then a double-wall box with cushioning. Place silica gel for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.
For most Toys and sporting goods, a Standard dry container is usually adequate, but shippers should confirm door seals and use drying agents. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, evaluate additional interior lining on routes with large temperature swings.
To reduce stacking damage for Medium-weight Toys and games, choose stronger boxes, manage pallet height, and use edge protectors. Prominently label pallets of games with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and confirm heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.
Yes, many countries Apply Safety and labeling rules for children’s toys. Shippers should confirm that all games meet destination standards (such as ASTM/EN standards) and that test reports is available if customs requests it. Some sports equipment, such as items with aerosols, may also fall under restricted articles rules and require declared classification.
