A compact container is not necessarily enough to protect the contents inside. When preparing to ship to the Philippines, check each layer: the product, the dunnage, and the outer packaging. The packing method must match the item and the confirmed shipping plan.
1. Separate product groups before selecting bins
Place items in groups and write down the quantity. You will easily notice items that can overlap other items, sharp corners that can tear the packaging, or surfaces that need to be avoided from rubbing. These points should be stated in the consultation photos instead of hidden under many layers of wrapping.
For detachable items, ask for the appropriate solution before disassembling. If removed, collect accessories in a separate bag with a note and take a photo of the location. Keep the reassembly instructions if the recipient needs them.
2. Choose packaging that is in good condition and suitable for the weight
Check the bottom, corners, edges and damp or soft spots of the box. A dented or torn box should not be considered strong just because of the addition of more tape. For packages that need reinforcement or use of frames, send measurements and photos to check how it is handled.
DHL's packaging guidelines recommend choosing the right box, protecting the goods with cushioning material and sealing the seams in an H shape. This is a guideline for reference; Specific requirements for shipment Gia Phú still need to be confirmed according to reality. Source: DHL packing instructions.
3. Protect each item and handle gaps
Don't just line the bottom and then put all the products together. See which items need contact separation, which items have corners and which gaps cause the goods to move. After loading, check by slightly tilting the package in accordance with the nature of the goods; Do not shake vigorously or try to drop the package.
Don't reduce protection just to reduce size. The goal is to have enough packaging for the goods and the necessary protection. See more how to write weight and size after packaging.
4. Separate the device case with the battery
Lithium batteries have their own air transportation requirements. Battery type, mounting in the device, condition and records all affect how it is handled. IATA has a battery manual in 2026; You should not apply normal product specifications to all devices. Source: IATA Battery Guidance 2026.
Send the model, photo of the battery label and clearly state whether the battery is in the device or separate. Do not disassemble or handle damaged batteries yourself; Request to check reception capacity in advance. Having an electronic device on the list does not mean the shipment has been accepted.
5. Final check and save handover photos
| Test item | You need to see |
|---|---|
| Contents | Listing and quantity match actual goods. |
| In package | Items are properly organized and protected; Don't forget accessories. |

| Measurements | Record weight and three dimensions after packaging. |
Take a photo before closing the lid and a photo of the outside surfaces after completion. This set of photos helps you compare information when exchanging; it does not itself establish insurance or indemnity conditions. Those conditions need to be agreed separately.
I have already packaged it myself, do I need to check it again?
It may still be necessary to check by item and route. Report that the package is sealed, send photos and ask how to hand it over. See checklist of information before sending to the Philippines to avoid missing data when texting for consultation.
