What considerations should be made for sea freight packaging

Things to consider for sea freight packaging:


1. The packaging of goods should be sturdy and intact, capable of preventing package breakage, leakage, and loss of contents during transportation; preventing damage or deterioration of goods caused by stacking, friction, shock, or changes in air pressure and temperature; and preventing harm to operators or contamination of aircraft, sea containers, ground equipment, and other items.

2. In addition to being suitable for the nature, state, and weight of the goods, the packaging should also facilitate handling, loading, unloading, and stacking; the outer surface of the packaging should be free of protruding nails, hooks, spikes, etc.; the packaging should be clean, dry, and free of odor and oil stains.


3. The cushioning materials (such as sawdust and paper scraps) inside the packaging must not leak out. Except for goods packaged in paper bags (such as documents, materials, etc.), all consigned goods should be bundled with packaging tape. It is strictly prohibited to use straw bags for packaging or straw ropes for bundling goods.


4. The packaging tape used for bundling goods should be able to bear the full weight of the goods and ensure that it does not break when the goods are lifted.


5. If the packaging of the goods does not comply with the above-mentioned relevant regulations, the shipper should be required to make improvements or repackage the goods before acceptance for transportation.
