When shipping from New Orleans to Buenos Aires, be mindful of the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November) by building in buffer days and flexible port windows. During peak periods, arrange alternative ports of refuge to mitigate unexpected delays. Additionally, expect congestion during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and the soy harvest export peak (February-June); thus, reserve vessel space well in advance. Lastly, during the Southern Ocean storm season (May-September), allow for extended transit times and potential route adjustments.

Preparing large appliances for freight Requires methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and tape doors, cords, and loose shelves. Our team suggests using the original packaging when available, or strong cartons with palletization for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You Can sometimes combine kitchen gadgets with Cookware and bakeware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier pots and pans at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter kitchen gadgets 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 makes sense beyond basic carrier liability. We recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium countertop appliances. Verify that your policy covers water exposure, as many small appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store Home appliances in a moisture-controlled area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep Countertop appliances, 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 Electrical home appliances may be subject to import regulations in the destination country. We recommend 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 properly packaged to withstand ocean freight conditions. This includes securing appliances with appropriate cushioning materials to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, appliances may need to be drained of fluids and disconnected from power sources before shipping to comply with safety regulations.
The required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. Import permits may also be necessary, along with compliance with Argentina's regulatory requirements for household appliances, such as safety and energy efficiency certifications.
