Be mindful of potential disruptions during the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) by scheduling sailings outside peak storm months and allowing buffer days for port closures. Expect extended transit times due to river flooding (June-September) and secure flexible berthing windows. During the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December), expect tight vessel space and longer dwell times, necessitating early bookings and contingency plans. Additionally, monitor carriers during the Brazilian wet season (October-March) for weather-related delays and plan routes accordingly to mitigate risks.

Readying Home appliances for freight demands careful steps. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and Secure doors, cords, and loose shelves. Our team suggests using the original packaging when available, or reinforced boxes and pallets for protection. Clearly mark units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine Countertop appliances with kitchenware, but only with proper separation. Place heavier Cookware at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter kitchen gadgets 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 strongly recommended beyond basic carrier liability. Our team suggests declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium food prep equipment. Verify that your policy covers Moisture-related damage, as many small appliances 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, 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 domestic appliances may be subject to Energy-efficiency rules in the destination country. Our team suggests 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 important to ensure that items are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Appliances should be protected with cushioning materials and secured in containers to minimize movement. Additionally, appliances should be drained of any fluids and prepared according to international shipping standards to comply with safety regulations.
The required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, import/export permits, and any certificates of conformity or quality assurance as mandated by Brazilian regulations. It is essential to ensure that all paperwork accurately reflects the nature of the household appliances being shipped to facilitate the customs clearance process.
