When shipping from Mexico City to Monterrey, account for seasonal factors that may impact transit times. During the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November), build in buffer days to accommodate potential disruptions. Expect tight capacity and higher rates during the North America Summer Holiday Peak (late June-early September), so confirm your transport well in advance. Additionally, expect delays during the Back to School demand peak (late July-September) and the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December), and modify delivery commitments accordingly.

Readying Home appliances 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. Our team suggests using the original packaging when available, or reinforced boxes and pallets for protection. Clearly mark units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine Countertop appliances with kitchenware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier pots and pans at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter kitchen gadgets above. Individually cushion 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 strongly recommended 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 small appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store kitchen appliances in a Dry 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 Energy-efficiency rules 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.
When shipping household appliances, it is important to ensure that items are securely packed to prevent damage during transit. Fragile components, such as glass or electronic parts, should be cushioned and protected. Additionally, appliances should be properly secured to avoid movement within the transport vehicle.
There are no specific customs or regulatory requirements for transporting household appliances within Mexico, as both cities are within the same country. However, it is advisable to have proper documentation that includes a bill of lading and any relevant invoices for the appliances being transported.
