How to prevent suit folding during container shipping?

EMS air freight 5-10 days + suit bag + container warehouse inspection + repackaging + flat packaging (suit box). Alternative: Cleaning upon arrival in Taiwan (premium dry cleaning NT$1,500-3,000), suit bag hanging (to avoid creases), steam ironing. High-priced products (Brioni/Tom Ford) must come with a 10% warranty, complete original box + suit bag + dust bag, EMS lying flat vs folding (choose carefully). High-priced suits → Consolidator "suit-specific packaging", mid-priced → standard EMS + suit bag, dry cleaning and ironing required after arrival in Taiwan.
