Use proper packaging materials, such as cartons, wooden boxes, bubble wrap, etc., and provide extra protection for fragile items. Cargo packaging should be secure and secure to prevent sliding or tilting inside the container.

2. Stacking height:

Avoid stacking cargo too high to prevent tipping or collapsing during transport. Stack the goods reasonably to ensure the center of gravity in the container is balanced and avoid excessive stacking.

3. Space utilization:

Make full use of the space inside the container to ensure maximum loading capacity. Place the goods tightly and avoid leaving too many gaps. Filling or cushioning materials can be used to fill the gaps to maintain the stability of the cargo.

4, weight distribution:

Reasonably distribute the weight of the cargo to ensure the balance and stability of the container. Place heavier loads on the bottom and lighter loads on top. Evenly distributing weight helps keep the container stable, reducing the risk of tipping and tipping.

5. Fixing device:

Use suitable securing devices, such as ropes, seals, straps, etc., to secure the cargo securely within the container. Make sure that the goods cannot move or slide during transportation. Use appropriate padding or supports to prevent the cargo from sloshing.

6. Marking and Labeling:

Clearly mark and label the goods on the container. Including the nature, quantity, weight, destination and other information of the goods. Proper marking and labeling help identify and track goods, ensuring they are handled and delivered correctly.

7. Avoid prohibited items:

Know the list of prohibited items in exporting and importing countries and make sure your shipment does not contain any prohibited items. These prohibited items may be restricted for safety, legal or environmental reasons.

8. Document preparation:

Prepare and keep documents related to cargo transportation, such as packing list, loading and unloading list, customs declaration documents, etc. These documents are essential for shipping and customs clearance procedures.
