When shipping from Aliaga, Turkey to Salvador, Brazil, expect significant delays due to Mediterranean winter storms and Brazil's wet season (November-March). Build in additional time for transit and port calls, and secure flexible berthing windows to mitigate congestion. During the peak harvest export periods (February-September), plan for tighter vessel availability and longer dwell times at ports. Monitor weather forecasts and adjust ETAs accordingly to ensure timely deliveries.

Readying white goods for freight Requires methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and Secure doors, cords, and loose shelves. Most carriers recommend using the original packaging when available, or reinforced boxes and pallets for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine small appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier Cookware at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter countertop appliances above. Individually cushion glass lids, ceramic bakeware, and appliance attachments, and avoid overloading any single carton to keep weight manageable and prevent crushing.
Because major appliances are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance is advisable beyond basic carrier liability. We recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium countertop appliances. Verify that your policy covers Moisture-related damage, as many kitchen gadgets contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store kitchen appliances in a well-ventilated area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep Countertop appliances, bakeware, and other boxed items off bare concrete floors, and Use pallet covers or top sheets if humidity is high. Avoid outdoor staging or open docks during rain, and do not shrink-wrap warm appliances immediately after use, as trapped condensation can damage electronics.
International shipments of domestic appliances may be subject to electrical safety standards in the destination country. We recommend that kitchen appliances comply with local voltage, plug type, and certification requirements (such as CE, UKCA, or other regional marks). Include accurate product descriptions and HS codes for Home appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
Household appliances should be securely packaged to withstand ocean transport, including proper cushioning and moisture protection. It is also important to ensure that all items are properly loaded in containers to prevent movement during transit.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates such as import permits or compliance with Brazilian regulations for household appliances.
