Properly loading the ocean container will help prevent goods from getting damaged.
Properly loading a container will help protect your goods from damage during transit. The goods need to be protected from sliding around during the unsteady ocean leg, and from rattling and banging if the container is traveling via rail.

If your shipment is going FCL to Amazon, see Amazon’s floor loading specifications, and Amazon’s pallet specifications.
