Step 1 — Materials needed. batteria ADR, rimuovi obiettivo se separabile, custodia rigida.
Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean camera before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.
Step 3 — Inner protective layer. wrap camera con minimo 3 strati di pluriball (o 4-5 for oggetti very delicati). Non save sull'packaging: il parcel passa for 2-3 hub europei.
