When shipping from Miami to Vitoria, prepare for the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November), which may require alternative routing to accommodate weather disruptions. Additionally, during the Brazilian wet season (October-March), account for potential flooding and increased transit times. Secure vessel space well in advance for the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) to mitigate congestion risks. Lastly, coordinate closely with weather forecasts and adjust schedules accordingly to avoid delays from winter storms (December-March) and seasonal fog (May-September).

Readying large appliances 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 reinforced boxes and pallets for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine kitchen gadgets 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 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 makes sense 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 kitchen appliances in a moisture-controlled 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 domestic appliances may be subject to import regulations 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 typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary import permits specific to household appliances as per Brazilian regulations.
