The right choice of the appropriate packaging material is very essential. The shipment should be properly packed using the appropriate packaging material to ensure that cargo can withstand all potential hazards during transit. The packaging should provide protection from the dynamics of the mode of transport and its environment. Discuss packaging with your supplier to ensure all items are properly wrapped, taped, boxed, and crated. No loose or unwrapped items will be accepted by the freight forwarder because of the risk of loss and damage in transit
