Step 1 — Materials needed. Sturdy box a doppia onda, max 20kg for box.
Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean dumbbells before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.
Step 3 — Inner protective layer. Wrap dumbbells in at least 3 layers of bubble wrap. Don't skimp on packing: the parcel passes through 4–5 international hubs.
