When shipping from Nanjing to Hong Kong via ocean, prepare for delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and peak river flooding (June-September), which can affect port operations and inland transport. Book vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) to avoid congestion. Additionally, account for potential typhoon disruptions (June-November) and add buffer days to your transit plans to mitigate delays caused by weather-related issues and increased demand during peak seasons.

Getting large appliances for freight necessitates 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 reinforced boxes and pallets for protection. Clearly identify units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You can in some cases combine kitchen gadgets with food prep equipment, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier Cookware 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 white goods are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance makes sense beyond basic carrier liability. Most brokers 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 moisture-controlled area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep kitchen gadgets, 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 import regulations in the destination country. Most exporters ensure 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, special care must be taken to ensure they are securely packaged and protected from moisture and saltwater exposure during transit. Appliances should be securely loaded in containers with appropriate cushioning to prevent damage from movement. Additionally, compliance with weight restrictions and proper stacking methods is crucial to avoid damage.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. Additionally, a customs declaration form must be completed to comply with regulatory requirements for imports into Hong Kong. It is essential to ensure that all documentation accurately reflects the nature and value of the household appliances being shipped.
