When shipping from Chittagong to Shenzhen, be mindful of the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December) by adding buffer days and securing priority berthing. During the southwest monsoon (June-September), expect port congestion and revise schedules accordingly. Additionally, arrange vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) to avoid delays. Lastly, account for potential disruptions during the Western New Year period (December 20-January 5) due to reduced staffing and increased congestion.

Preparing white goods for freight Requires methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and fasten doors, cords, and loose shelves. Most carriers recommend using the original packaging when available, or reinforced boxes and pallets for protection. Clearly identify units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You Can sometimes combine small appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier cast-iron pieces 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 Home 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 humidity damage, as many kitchen gadgets contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store Home 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 add 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 Electrical home 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 food prep equipment 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 packed to prevent damage during transit. This includes using appropriate cushioning materials and ensuring that appliances are stabilized within the shipping container. Additionally, appliances may require specific temperature or humidity controls during transit, depending on their type.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary customs declarations. For household appliances, compliance with both Bangladesh export regulations and Chinese import regulations is essential, including any required certifications for safety and environmental standards.
