Secure vessel space well in advance during peak periods like Chuseok and Golden Week (late September-early October) and the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion and delays.

Readying Home appliances for freight demands Thorough preparation. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and tape doors, cords, and loose shelves. Most carriers recommend using the original packaging when available, or strong cartons with palletization for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine Countertop appliances with kitchenware, but only with Careful packing. Place heavier pots and pans at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter countertop appliances above. Individually protect 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 strongly recommended beyond basic carrier liability. Our team suggests declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium Kitchen appliances. Verify that your policy covers water exposure, as many kitchen gadgets contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store kitchen appliances in a Dry area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep small appliances, Cookware, and other boxed items off bare concrete floors, and apply 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 Energy-efficiency rules in the destination country. Our team suggests that White goods 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 small appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
When shipping household appliances, it is essential to ensure adequate packaging to prevent damage during transit. Appliances should be secured with cushioning materials and properly packed in crates or pallets to withstand the ocean freight conditions. Additionally, it is important to adhere to weight limits and size restrictions set by the shipping line.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant certificates of origin or compliance. Import permits may also be necessary for specific household appliances regulated by Chinese customs.
