Packaging starts with the actual product risk, not a generic carton promise. Protection, labels, documents and transport are confirmed against the released units, packed dimensions, urgency and destination.
Send the original reference: Include the complete model code, quantity, destination and available photos or drawings.
Packaging is selected by product risk
| Product or risk | Protection to define | Release evidence when agreed |
|---|---|---|
| Valves and electrical controls | Port caps, connector protection, moisture barrier and unit separation | Model label, capped interfaces, quantity and packed-unit photos |
| Pumps and motors | Shaft restraint, port sealing, corrosion protection and impact control | Shaft and port condition, protection method and package identity |
| Cylinders and heavy assemblies | Rod protection, stable supports, lifting points and reinforced case | Rod condition, restraint, case construction, weight and lifting marks |
| Seal kits and small service parts | Part segregation, moisture protection and readable line-item labels | Kit identity, quantity, inner-pack separation and outer marks |
These are planning examples, not a promise that every order includes every method. The accepted quotation defines the actual packing scope.

Shipping quote boundaries
| Item | Confirmed when | Reason it may change |
|---|---|---|
| Freight cost | Carrier quote, chargeable weight, route and validity are stated | Fuel surcharge, capacity, remote-area fee or packed dimensions |
| Transit estimate | The carrier and service level are selected | Customs, weather, inspections, congestion or connection delays |
| Import charges | The buyer or broker confirms local treatment | Classification, destination rules and customs valuation |
| Delivery responsibility | The written Incoterm and named place are agreed | A change of forwarder, destination or handover point |
Hydraulic Match coordinates the agreed export steps but does not represent a carrier, customs authority or destination-country broker.
