When shipping from Jeddah to Navegantes, prepare for the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December) by building in extra buffer days and securing flexible ETAs. Additionally, consider reduced operations during Ramadan and Eid holidays (late March–late April and March-June), allowing 3-5 extra working days.

Readying white goods 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 Heavy-duty cartons and pallets for protection. Clearly mark units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine small 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 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. 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 kitchen appliances in a well-ventilated 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 domestic appliances may be subject to electrical safety standards 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 crucial to ensure proper packaging and securing of the items to prevent damage during transit.
