When shipping from Jeddah to Manaus, account for the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December), as it may necessitate additional buffer days and flexible routing. During Ramadan and Eid holidays (late March–late April and March-June), anticipate reduced operational hours and potential delays, so plan accordingly. Additionally, prepare for Brazil's wet season (October-March), which can lead to flooding and congestion; ensure you build in extra time for transit and clearance. Finally, book vessel space well in advance during peak retail periods (October-December) to avoid capacity issues.

Readying white goods 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 Heavy-duty cartons and pallets for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine small appliances 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 Wrap 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. 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 well-ventilated 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 electrical safety standards 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.
