When shipping from Itapoa to Manaus, consider the Brazilian wet season (October-March) by adding buffer days into schedules and using waterproof coverings to mitigate risks from flooding. Prepare for congestion during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and soy harvest (February-June), necessitating early bookings and flexible routing. Additionally, be aware of potential delays during the Western New Year period (December 20-January 5) and Black Friday surge (mid-November to early December), as staffing shortages and increased demand can impact transit times.

Readying white goods for freight Requires methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and tape doors, cords, and loose shelves. Most carriers recommend 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 may occasionally combine small appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier pots and pans at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter countertop appliances above. Individually protect 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 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 water exposure, as many kitchen gadgets contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store kitchen 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 apply 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 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 small appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
Household appliances should be securely packaged and protected against moisture and saltwater exposure during ocean transport. Additionally, proper ventilation must be ensured to prevent condensation, and appliances should be stowed to avoid movement that could lead to damage.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary import permits or certifications specific to household appliances. Customs declarations must also be completed to comply with Brazilian regulations.
