International shipping can seem intimidating, but with the right preparation, it’s easier than you think. Whether you’re sending personal items, business products, or valuable cargo, The Box Depot in Los Angeles offers everything you need for a smooth, secure shipment.
1. Choose the Right Packaging Materials
Successful international shipping starts with strong, durable packaging. Always select boxes rated for export and reinforced to handle long-distance handling and climate changes. For fragile or valuable items, consider using Custom Crates and Boxes designed for extra protection during transit.
Add proper cushioning inside each box—such as foam, bubble wrap, or packing peanuts—to absorb impact and prevent damage.
2. Label Clearly and Include Documentation
Each shipment must include a detailed customs declaration and a clearly printed label with both the sender’s and recipient’s full information. Double-check international shipping regulations for the destination country to avoid customs delays.
The Box Depot offers International Shipping Assistance to help you complete paperwork accurately and avoid costly errors.
3. Compare Carriers and Delivery Options
