Shipping Games from Yokohama to Toronto via Ocean Freight

For humidity-sensitive sporting goods, Use a Layered approach: inner Poly bag or shrink wrap around the product or retail box, then a double-wall box with padding. Place moisture absorbers for long-distance or ocean shipments of leisure products.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a dry van Is sufficient, but You should Verify door seals and use humidity absorbers. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, look at enhanced humidity control on routes with tropical climates.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, Use Double-wall cartons, Limit pallet height, and use vertical supports. Prominently label pallets of games with “Single Stack Only” where appropriate, and make sure heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.

You should Verify that all games meet destination standards (such as local toy safety regulations) and that test reports is available if customs requests it.
