Getting large appliances for freight necessitates methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and fasten doors, cords, and loose shelves. We recommend using the original packaging when available, or Heavy-duty cartons and pallets for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.

Place heavier cast-iron pieces at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter Small appliances above.

International shipments of powered kitchen appliances may be subject to import regulations in the destination country.

Appliances should be cushioned and protected with appropriate materials to withstand the ocean conditions, which may include humidity and temperature fluctuations. Additionally, compliance with international shipping standards for weight and dimensions is crucial.
The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of conformity or compliance with Argentine regulations for household appliances.
