When shipping from Mexico City to New York via ocean, anticipate significant disruptions during the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) and North America Winter Storms (December-March). Add buffer days to your transit times to accommodate potential delays from weather-related closures and congestion. Secure vessel space and inland transport capacity well in advance during peak retail periods, such as Black Friday and Christmas (mid-November to early December). Monitor carriers for real-time weather updates and adjust delivery commitments accordingly to mitigate risks associated with seasonal fluctuations.

Preparing white goods for freight Requires Thorough preparation. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and tape 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 sometimes combine small appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with Careful packing. Place heavier pots and pans 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 Home 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 water exposure, as many kitchen gadgets contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store Home 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 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 Electrical home 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 small 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 applicable certificates of conformity for appliances to meet U.S. safety standards.
Seasonal factors such as hurricane season, which typically runs from June to November, may affect shipping routes and schedules, necessitating extra precautions for cargo safety during this period.
