Ensure proper storage and shipping by adhering to space requirements: minimum 200 sq ft, 9ft height clearance, and 15ft x 12ft for larger collections. Weight distribution must account for load capacity limits.

Delicate glass cookware should be padded, ceramic items require cardboard dividers, and metal utensils must avoid heavy stacking. Fragile items must be placed on lower shelves to prevent damage during transit.

Use adjustable shelving units and stackable bins for small items. Pallet storage is acceptable for larger items like pots and pans, ensuring stability and ease of handling.

Require a 12ft wide loading dock with 9ft door clearance for forklift access. Consider a secondary door for smaller deliveries to streamline operations.

Freight costs depend on storage size, handling complexity, and compliance with HTS/UNIS codes. Optimizing space and packaging reduces logistics expenses.
