Good packing protects your goods and helps your shipment clear customs faster. Here are five tips from our logistics team:
- Choose the right box. Use a sturdy, correctly sized carton with no previous labels.
- Cushion everything. Wrap fragile items individually and fill empty space.
- Seal securely. Use strong tape along all seams.
- Label clearly. Include sender and recipient details inside and outside.
- Attach documents. A clear commercial invoice speeds up customs.
