Consider the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) by scheduling critical sailings outside peak storm activity and building in buffer days for potential delays. Expect reduced visibility and slower port approaches due to coastal fog (May-September), necessitating additional buffer time. During the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December), secure vessel space well in advance to avoid congestion. Plan for potential delays during the North American agricultural export peak (August-December) by coordinating documentation cutoffs and allowing extra transit time.

Getting Home appliances for freight Requires careful steps. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and Secure doors, cords, and loose shelves. We recommend using the original packaging when available, or strong cartons with palletization for protection. Clearly identify units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You can in some cases combine Countertop appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with proper separation. Place heavier Cookware at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter Small 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 white goods are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance Is strongly recommended beyond basic carrier liability. We recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium food prep equipment. Verify that your policy covers Moisture-related damage, as many Domestic appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store domestic appliances in a Dry area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep Countertop appliances, kitchenware, 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 powered kitchen appliances may be subject to Energy-efficiency rules in the destination country. We recommend that major 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.
When shipping household appliances, it is crucial to ensure that they are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Appliances should be stowed properly in containers with sufficient cushioning materials, and any loose parts should be removed or secured. Additionally, temperature-sensitive appliances may require climate-controlled shipping conditions.
The required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of conformity or compliance with Mexican regulations for household appliances. Import permits may also be required, depending on the type of appliance being shipped.
