Printers are foam-crated and secured for overseas transit, with the printhead and loose parts protected so vibration and handling do not cause damage. SHICAI packs to survive sea or air freight, and fragile items are marked; confirm the crate spec if your route has rough handling or humidity.
Good crating is the cheapest insurance against a damaged arrival.
Machines are foam-crated for overseas transit; ink cartridges can ship with the printer where local regulations allow, otherwise sent separately.
Payment is usually T/T or L/C; tracking numbers and commercial invoices are issued so the shipment can be followed end to end.
Clarifying Incoterms up front (who pays freight and duty) prevents the most common dispute after a container is already at sea.
