Key considerations when packaging goods for international shipment.

Export Packaging Basics

Plan for the journey

Export goods may face long transit, multiple handling points, stacking and humidity changes.

Key elements

  • Strong outer packaging — crates, heavy-duty cartons or pallet boxes.
  • Load securing — strapping, lashing and dunnage.
  • Moisture control — desiccants and barrier packaging.
  • Marking — handling labels and identification.

Wood packaging

Many countries require solid wood packaging to be treated and marked under ISPM 15. Confirm the requirement for your destination with each order.

Glossary

ISPM 15:
International standard for treatment of wood packaging material used in trade.
