Shipping Bakeware from Nanjing to Laem Chabang via Ocean Freight

Preparing Home appliances for freight Requires careful steps. 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 Countertop appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with proper separation. 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 strongly recommended beyond basic carrier liability. We recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium food prep equipment. 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 Dry area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep Countertop appliances, kitchenware, 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 Energy-efficiency rules in the destination country. We recommend that major 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 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 certificates of origin or compliance specific to household appliances to meet Thai import regulations.

Seasonal weather patterns, such as the monsoon season in Southeast Asia, can affect ocean freight conditions, potentially leading to rough seas or delays, which should be considered when planning shipments.
