When shipping from Jeddah to Paranagua, anticipate the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December), which may require additional buffer days and flexible ETAs. Expect reduced operations during Ramadan and Eid holidays (late March–late April and March-June), adding 3-5 days to schedules. Additionally, account for Brazil's wet season (October-March) by allowing extra time for potential delays due to heavy rainfall and flooding. Keep track of Suez Canal congestion risks (January-March) and adjust plans accordingly to mitigate disruptions.

Getting 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. Our team suggests 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 can in some cases 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 kitchen gadgets above. Individually protect glass lids, ceramic bakeware, and appliance attachments, and avoid overloading any single carton to keep weight manageable and prevent crushing.
Because white goods 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 small appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store domestic 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 powered kitchen 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.
When shipping household appliances via ocean freight, it is important to ensure that they are properly packed and secured to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, appliances may require special handling to accommodate their size and weight, and should be loaded and unloaded with care at both the Jeddah and Paranagua ports.
For customs clearance, the shipment of household appliances from Jeddah to Paranagua requires a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and compliance with both Saudi Arabian export regulations and Brazilian import regulations, including any necessary certifications for electrical appliances.
