Be mindful of the impact of the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) on your shipping schedule from Haiphong, Vietnam to Xiamen, China. Add buffer days for potential delays due to heavy rainfall and port congestion (May-September). Secure vessel space well in advance during peak export periods (July-October) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid rollovers. Coordinate carriers for real-time updates on weather-related disruptions and adjust cut-off times accordingly (June-October).

Preparing Home appliances for freight Requires Thorough preparation. 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 strong cartons with palletization for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You Can sometimes combine Countertop appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with Careful packing. Place heavier Cookware at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter kitchen gadgets above. Individually protect 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 strongly recommended beyond basic carrier liability. We recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium Kitchen appliances. 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 Home appliances in a Dry area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep Countertop appliances, Cookware, 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 Electrical home appliances may be subject to Energy-efficiency rules in the destination country. We recommend 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 Home appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
When shipping household appliances, it is important to ensure they are properly packed and secured to prevent damage during transit. Appliances should be cushioned with appropriate materials to absorb shocks and vibrations. Additionally, it is crucial to check for any specific regulations regarding the transportation of large appliances, as they may require special handling or equipment at both ports.
The necessary documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant certificates of compliance or safety standards for household appliances. It is also important to ensure that the shipment is classified correctly under the Harmonized System (HS) codes for smooth customs clearance between Vietnam and China.
