Security concerns
High-value electronics require security measures. GPS tracking, tamper-evident seals, and full insurance are standard for laptop shipments. Some shippers use armed escorts for containers worth $10M+.
Consider air freight for smaller quantities — the per-unit shipping cost is higher but insurance risk is lower.
