For companies unfamiliar with the rigors of ocean international shipping, the biggest “threat” to a shipment can occur before it even sets sail. Most foreign countries have strict requirements regarding the use of wooden crates. This is because wooden crates can harbor pests that could, in theory, start an infestation in the destination country. A better approach is to avoid issues altogether by working with a company that has a deep understanding of the challenges companies face when utilizing ocean transport and the optimal solutions for those challenges.
