Readying white goods for freight Requires Thorough preparation. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and fasten doors, cords, and loose shelves.

Store kitchen appliances in a well-ventilated area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls.

International shipments of domestic appliances may be subject to electrical safety standards in the destination country.

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. Appliances should be cushioned and protected against moisture and saltwater exposure, as they are sensitive to such conditions during ocean freight.
