Preparing white goods for freight necessitates careful steps. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and fasten doors, cords, and loose shelves.

International shipments of Electrical home appliances may be subject to electrical safety standards in the destination country.
