When shipping from Jeddah to Callao, consider the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December), and add extra buffer days to absorb potential delays. During Ramadan and Eid al Fitr (late March–late April), prepare for reduced operational hours and include additional buffer time. Additionally, book vessel space well in advance during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and monitor carriers to mitigate congestion risks at ports.

Readying large appliances for freight demands methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and tape doors, cords, and loose shelves. We 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 kitchen gadgets with kitchenware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier pots and pans at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter Small 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 makes sense beyond basic carrier liability. Our team suggests declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium countertop appliances. Verify that your policy covers water exposure, as many Domestic appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store kitchen appliances in a moisture-controlled area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep small 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 import regulations in the destination country. Our team suggests 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.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of conformity for household appliances to meet Peruvian regulatory standards.
Seasonal weather patterns, such as the potential for storms in the Atlantic Ocean, may impact shipping conditions, necessitating careful planning for potential delays or handling procedures for sensitive appliances.
