Pay attention to the packaging of the goods. It should be suitable for long-distance marine shipping to avoid damage during transportation. Fragile items should have special protective packaging. In addition, the information about the goods provided must be accurate, including weight, size, etc., otherwise it will affect booking shipping space and customs declaration.

Time arrangement is very important. You should know the shipping schedule in advance and reserve enough time for delivering goods to the warehouse, customs declaration, etc. If it is the peak season, you should book shipping space earlier to prevent the shortage of shipping space from delaying the export.
