Safe transport of your critical Home Appliances freight
Philippines
Chile
The ocean route from Manila to Valparaiso offers a cost-effective solution for transporting large appliances across the Pacific. Utilizing maritime shipping allows for the movement of bulk quantities, ensuring that kitchen appliances and other domestic goods reach their destination efficiently. This route also benefits from established shipping lanes, reducing potential delays and enhancing reliability in the supply chain. Additionally, the capacity of container ships to accommodate oversized items makes this a suitable choice for heavy white goods.
Manila's port is well-equipped with modern facilities, including container terminals and specialized handling equipment for large appliances, ensuring smooth loading and unloading processes. Valparaiso also boasts a robust infrastructure, featuring deep-water ports that can accommodate large vessels, facilitating efficient import operations for home appliances. Both locations have access to extensive road and rail networks, enabling seamless distribution to regional markets once the goods arrive. This synergy between the ports enhances the overall logistics efficiency for transporting kitchen and domestic appliances.

When shipping from Manila to Valparaiso, account for the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in buffer days for potential delays due to heavy rainfall and port congestion. Secure vessel space at least 3-4 weeks in advance during peak export periods (July-October) to avoid tight capacity issues. Stay updated on weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly, as congestion can significantly impact transit times during these seasons.

Getting Home appliances for freight Requires careful steps. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and Secure doors, cords, and loose shelves. Most carriers recommend using the original packaging when available, or strong cartons with palletization for protection. Clearly identify units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You can in some cases combine Countertop appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with proper separation. Place heavier Cookware at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter countertop 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 Is strongly recommended beyond basic carrier liability. We recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium food prep equipment. Verify that your policy covers Moisture-related damage, as many kitchen gadgets contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store domestic appliances in a Dry area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep Countertop appliances, kitchenware, 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 Energy-efficiency rules in the destination country. We recommend that major 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 customs declarations specific to household appliances for both the Philippines and Chile.
Household appliances should be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit, and it is advisable to use containers that provide adequate protection against moisture and temperature variations typical during ocean transport.
