Shipping Rare Collector's Stamps Securely

Cargo Description

Shipping International secures shipments of rare collector's stamps in tamper-evident, climate-controlled packaging within a custom-fitted, shock-absorbing container. A separate, secure inventory list details the precise contents and value. Full-value insurance is provided.

Shipment Type

A Full Container Load (FCL) in a 20ft or 40ft temperature-controlled container ("reefer") is recommended for secure, climate-controlled transit and protection from damage. While Out of Gauge (OOG) classification might be considered if packaging is exceptionally large or oddly shaped, Breakbulk is unsuitable due to the risk of damage and the need for climate control.

2. Insurance

Obtain insurance covering the full declared value of the stamps. Ensure the policy covers damage, loss, and theft.

3. Container Selection
