Good packing protects your goods and helps your shipment clear customs faster. Here are five tips from our logistics team:

  1. Choose the right box. Use a sturdy, correctly sized carton with no previous labels.
  2. Cushion everything. Wrap fragile items individually and fill empty space.
  3. Seal securely. Use strong tape along all seams.
  4. Label clearly. Include sender and recipient details inside and outside.
  5. Attach documents. A clear commercial invoice speeds up customs.
