Why Mexico needs special attention

The 5 steps to pack wall clock for Mexico
Step 1 — Materials needed. rimuovi pile, fissa lancette, polistirolo modellato.
Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean wall clock before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.
Step 3 — Inner protective layer. wrap wall clock con minimo 3 strati di pluriball (o 4-5 for oggetti very delicati). Non save sull'packaging: il parcel passa for 4-5 hub internazionali.
Step 4 — Sturdy box. Double-wall corrugated cardboard, 5–10 cm larger than the contents on every side. Never reuse crushed boxes: cardboard loses strength after 1–2 shipments.
Step 5 — Sealing and labelling. H-shaped seal with 50+ mm tape. Label in Italian and English (or Mexico's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
