The ocean route from Foshan to Taipei is highly advantageous for transporting large appliances and kitchen equipment, allowing for the movement of substantial cargo volumes efficiently. This maritime pathway minimizes the risk of damage often associated with road transport, ensuring that delicate home appliances arrive in optimal condition. Additionally, shipping via ocean is cost-effective, making it an attractive option for businesses looking to manage logistics expenses while maintaining service quality.
Foshan boasts a well-developed port infrastructure equipped to handle the export of domestic appliances, with facilities designed for efficient loading and unloading of large cargo. In Taipei, the receiving port is similarly advanced, featuring modern storage capabilities and customs processing that streamline the import of white goods. Both locations benefit from strong logistical support services, enhancing the overall supply chain efficiency for kitchen appliances and other household items.

Shippers typically route ocean cargo through nearby deep sea ports such as Guangzhou Nansha, so export documentation must align with the actual loading port rather than Foshan itself
Imports are subject to Taiwan Food and Drug Administration and Bureau of Standards regulations for food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products.

When shipping from Foshan, China to Taipei, Taiwan, secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance, especially before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7). Expect terminal congestion and slower cargo handling during these peak periods, so build in extra buffer days in your transit plans (January-February, September-October). Additionally, coordinate closely with local agents to manage potential delays and ensure timely customs clearance, particularly during the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5).

Preparing white goods for freight Requires careful steps. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and fasten doors, cords, and loose shelves. Our team suggests using the original packaging when available, or Heavy-duty cartons and pallets for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You Can sometimes combine small appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with proper separation. Place heavier cast-iron pieces at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter kitchen gadgets above. Individually Wrap 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 food prep equipment. Verify that your policy covers humidity damage, as many small appliances 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, kitchenware, 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 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 food prep equipment on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
When shipping household appliances, it is important to ensure that they are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Items should be properly crated or palletized, and any fragile components should be cushioned. Additionally, appliances may require specific temperature and humidity controls during ocean transport to avoid damage.
Importing household appliances from China to Taiwan requires compliance with Taiwan's safety and quality regulations. Importers must ensure that appliances meet Taiwan's standards and obtain necessary certifications. Documentation such as a bill of lading, commercial invoice, and customs declaration is also required for the clearance process at the port of Taipei.
