This maritime pathway allows for the shipment of bulky items, which can be challenging to move via air freight due to size and weight restrictions.

Getting white goods 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. Our team suggests 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 small appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier Cookware 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 Moisture-related damage, 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 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 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 Home 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 withstand the long ocean transit and potential vibrations. Appliances should be properly crated or palletized, and any fragile components should be cushioned to prevent damage. Additionally, it is crucial to comply with any specific packaging regulations that may apply to large appliances.
The required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance specific to household appliances. Importers in India must also provide relevant import licenses and ensure that the appliances meet Indian regulatory standards for safety and energy efficiency.
