When shipping from Kaohsiung, Taiwan to Yantian, China, anticipate significant delays due to the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) and East Asia Rainy Season (May-October). Add buffer days to your schedules and secure vessel space well in advance, especially before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7). Plan around tight transshipment connections during peak periods (July-October) and coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates to mitigate disruptions from weather and holiday congestion.

Getting large appliances for freight Requires methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and Secure doors, cords, and loose shelves. We recommend using the original packaging when available, or strong cartons with palletization for protection. Clearly mark units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You can in some cases combine kitchen gadgets with Cookware and bakeware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier Cookware 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 white goods are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance makes sense beyond basic carrier liability. We recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium countertop appliances. Verify that your policy covers Moisture-related damage, as many Domestic appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store domestic appliances in a moisture-controlled 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 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 powered kitchen appliances may be subject to import regulations 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 Home 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 import permits specific to household appliances as mandated by Chinese customs regulations.
