- Reduces confusion in mixed loads
- Helps identify fragile or non-stackable cartons
- Supports destination-document review
- Improves shipment planning
Packaging & Palletization
Retail packaging should protect the product and use freight space efficiently.
Strong Export Cartons
Outer cartons should be suitable for stacking, handling and the selected international freight method.
Stable Pallet Loads
Palletized cartons should be secured with suitable wrapping, straps or edge protection where appropriate.
Declare Non-Stackable Cargo
Non-stackable cartons or pallets can use significantly more truck or container space and should be declared before quoting.
Protect Fragile Products
Glass, ceramics, décor, electronics and other fragile goods may require internal cushioning or rigid outer protection.
Protect Sensitive Packaging
Paperboard retail packaging, labels and moisture-sensitive products may require wrapping or container protection.
Shipping & Handling Labels
Packages should be clearly marked with shipment references and any required fragile, upright or handling instructions.
Retail Compliance
Some consumer products need additional product information before shipping.
Battery-Powered Products
Products containing lithium or other batteries should include battery chemistry, configuration and technical information where applicable.
Liquid Consumer Products
Liquids should be declared accurately, including composition and packaging, because airline or carrier restrictions may apply.
Aerosol Products
Aerosol cans and pressurized retail goods may require dangerous-goods classification and carrier approval.
Alcohol-Containing Products
Perfume, sanitizer or other alcohol-containing products may be regulated for transport depending on composition and quantity.
Electronic Consumer Goods
Electronics should be declared with battery status, dimensions and packaging so suitable air, road or sea options can be evaluated.
Destination Requirements
Some products may require labeling, conformity, product registration or other import documentation depending on the destination market.
Do not describe battery products, aerosols, perfumes, chemicals or other regulated retail goods as ordinary general cargo.
Exact product composition and configuration can affect transport eligibility and carrier acceptance.
