When shipping from Taipei to Mexico City via ocean, anticipate significant delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in extra buffer days for port operations and confirm vessel space well in advance, especially before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Christmas retail peak (October-December). Avoid just-in-time arrivals during these periods to mitigate congestion risks and communicate closely with carriers for updated schedules and routing options.

When Shipping mixed loads of Construction materials such as lamps, Tools, and bulk fasteners, properly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Load heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of LED lights on top, and add corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Prominently label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers Can handle them appropriately.
For Lighting and LED lights, pack in Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. DNA recommends individually wrapping each item in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. Mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy hardware on the same pallet.
Moisture-sensitive Construction materials such as cement-based goods, metal Hardware, and electrical LED lights Should be covered with moisture-barrier film and, where feasible, paired with desiccant packs. Book enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and Avoid long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, look at container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.
High-value Tools and branded Hardware usually require All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile LED lights. DNA recommends obtaining coverage for shipments at full replacement value and retaining serial numbers or SKU lists for premium Power tools. This documentation improves claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.
Most standard electrical Lighting ship as general Construction goods, but it is important to Declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation. If battery-powered tools with lithium batteries are included, DG regulations may be involved, requiring UN-compliant labels, packing instructions, and sometimes carrier pre-approval. Coordinate with your carrier or freight forwarder in advance to confirm any restrictions for combined loads of electrical Lighting and powered power tools.
The required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance specific to construction materials. Additionally, customs declarations must adhere to both Taiwanese and Mexican regulations.
