When shipping from Navegantes, Brazil to Shanghai, China, expect significant delays during the Brazilian wet season (October-March) due to heavy rainfall and potential flooding. Add extra buffer days to your schedules and confirm vessel space well in advance, especially during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June). Monitor potential disruptions from the South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April) and the Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November). Plan for extended transit times and flexible routing options to mitigate these seasonal challenges.

Getting large appliances for freight demands careful steps. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and Secure doors, cords, and loose shelves. We 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 in some cases combine kitchen gadgets with kitchenware, but only with proper separation. Place heavier Cookware at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter Small 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 white goods are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance makes sense beyond basic carrier liability. Our team suggests declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium food prep equipment. Verify that your policy covers Moisture-related damage, as many Domestic 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 small appliances, kitchenware, 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. Our team suggests 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 Home appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
Household appliances require careful handling to prevent damage during transit. It is essential to ensure that items are securely packaged and cushioned to withstand the rigors of ocean freight over the 18,942 km route. Additionally, appliances should be adequately ventilated to avoid moisture buildup during shipping.
When shipping household appliances from Navegantes to Shanghai, necessary documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any applicable certificates of conformity or safety standards required by Chinese regulations. Proper customs declarations must also be prepared to facilitate clearance at both ports.
