General Packaging Regulations for Express Delivery in International Transportation:
The goods must be packaged to be sturdy, intact, and lightweight, ensuring they can withstand transportation without risk of packaging breakage, contents leakage, or loss.
The shape of the packaging should be suitable for the nature, condition, and weight of the goods, and should facilitate handling, loading, and stacking.
3. Goods and animals carried under specific conditions, such as perishable and live animals, must be packaged in accordance with the specific requirements for each type of cargo.
4. For small parcels (such as small samples), an additional wooden or cardboard box must be used for packaging, filled with padding material or similar. The total length, width, and height of the entire package must not be less than 40 cm, with the shorter side not less than 5 cm.
5. Padding materials inside the packaging (such as wood shavings, paper shavings) must not leak out.
If the packaging of the goods does not meet the requirements, a notice should be issued to the shipper, requesting that they modify or repackage the goods before shipment.
Special packaging requirements for certain goods:
Please pack items such as pianos, ceramics, and delicate crafts in wooden crates.
In the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, and several other countries, there are stringent regulations for unprocessed logs or logs packed with wood. They must be fumigated in the country of export and accompanied by an accepted fumigation certificate for the importing country to accept the shipment. Failure to comply may result in fines or the return of the goods to the country of export.
(2) The European regulations for wood packaging material of pine species require that upon importation, goods must be accompanied by a certificate issued by the exporting country's quarantine authority, stating that there is no pest infestation.
(3) Processed wooden furniture does not require fumigation.
(4) Everyday items such as books and various utensils can be packed in sturdy cardboard boxes and treated for moisture resistance.
(5) Fill fragile items with packing material to prevent damage.
(6) If conditions permit, line the inside of the cardboard box with a waterproof material (e.g., plastic bags, fabric, etc.).
In a shipping container, heavy and light items should be reasonably arranged for easy handling.
Ensure the box is stuffed full with fillers, making it robust. You can use toilet paper, tissues, small clothing items, etc., to prevent the contents from shifting and clashing during handling, potentially causing damage.
Liquid goods. There must be a 5-10% void inside the container, and the seal must be flat and tight; no leakage allowed.
Powdered goods. Ensure that the powder does not leak out.
Sensitive and fragile items. It is recommended that individual item gross weight not exceed 25 kilograms. Multi-layer packaging, suspended packaging, anti-tilt packaging, and glassware packaging can be utilized.
