Packaging for Table Lamps

Proper packaging is essential to protect fragile table lamps during the long sea journey. Here are the best practices:

  1. Primary Packaging:

    • Wrap each table lamp with bubble wrap to cushion against shocks.
    • Use cardboard dividers to separate individual items.

  2. Secondary Packaging:

    • Place the wrapped lamps in sturdy individual boxes with sufficient padding (e.g., foam or air-filled bags).
    • Ensure boxes are labeled with product details and handling instructions (e.g., “Fragile” or “This Side Up”).

  3. Tertiary Packaging for FCL:

    • Stack the individual boxes on pallets, securing them with stretch wrap.
    • Use edge protectors to maintain the integrity of the palletized load.

  4. Tertiary Packaging for LCL:

    • Consolidate individual boxes into larger cartons to reduce handling.
    • Reinforce the cartons with straps and additional padding for extra protection.

  5. Container Loading:

    • For FCL: Distribute weight evenly within the container to prevent damage during transport.
    • For LCL: Collaborate with the shipping company to ensure your goods are properly secured alongside other cargo.

Advantages of FCL and LCL Shipping

  • FCL:

    • Exclusive use of the container ensures better control and less handling of goods.
    • Suitable for bulk shipments with higher security.

  • LCL:

    • Cost-effective for smaller shipments.
    • Flexible for businesses that don’t need a full container.

Key Considerations for CIF Shipping

Under the CIF Incoterm, the seller is responsible for:

  • Arranging transportation to the destination port.
  • Covering freight charges and marine insurance.

The buyer handles customs clearance and delivery to the final location in Tambov.
