Getting white goods for freight necessitates methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and tape 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.
You can in some cases combine small appliances with food prep equipment, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier pots and pans at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter Small appliances above. Individually Wrap 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 is advisable 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 water exposure, as many Domestic appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store domestic appliances in a well-ventilated 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 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 powered kitchen appliances may be subject to electrical safety standards 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 small appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
When shipping household appliances, it is important to ensure they are securely packaged to withstand the ocean transit. This includes using sturdy pallets, protective wrapping, and ensuring that any fragile components are cushioned. Additionally, proper labeling is essential to indicate that the cargo contains large appliances, which may require special handling during loading and unloading at the ports.
The documentation required includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of conformity for the appliances. Import permits may also be needed, as Brazil has specific regulations regarding the importation of household appliances, including compliance with safety standards and energy efficiency regulations.
