Shipping High-Efficiency Solar Energy Units

Shipping Options

The shipping method for your high-efficiency solar energy units depends on their size and weight:

Packaging and Handling Instructions

Proper packaging is crucial to prevent damage during transit. Packaging should be tailored to the size and fragility of the solar units. For smaller units, sturdy cardboard boxes with adequate padding (e.g., bubble wrap, foam inserts) are recommended. Larger or more fragile units may require custom-built crates with internal bracing and shock absorption. All packaging must be clearly labeled with "Fragile" and "Handle with Care" markings. Shipping International can provide specific packaging recommendations based on your units' dimensions and weight.

Accurate and complete documentation is essential for smooth customs clearance. Required documents typically include:

Commercial Invoice
Packing List
Bill of Lading
Certificate of Origin (may be required depending on destination)
Any necessary import/export licenses or permits
