When shipping from New York to Vitoria, anticipate the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and build in buffer days to accommodate potential weather disruptions. During the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March), account for increased rainfall and possible flooding, necessitating flexible delivery windows. Additionally, prepare for congestion during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and the soy harvest export peak (February-June), which may require securing vessel space and adjusting transit plans well in advance.

Readying white goods for freight demands 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 reinforced boxes and pallets for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine small appliances with kitchenware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier pots and pans at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter Small appliances above. Individually cushion glass lids, ceramic bakeware, and appliance attachments, and avoid overloading any single carton to keep weight manageable and prevent crushing.
Because major appliances are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance is advisable beyond basic carrier liability. Our team suggests 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 kitchen appliances in a well-ventilated area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep small 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 domestic appliances may be subject to electrical safety standards in the destination country. Our team suggests 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 prevent damage during ocean transport. This includes using sturdy crates or pallets, securing items to avoid shifting, and cushioning fragile components. Additionally, appliances may need to be drained of liquids and prepared according to safety regulations for shipping.
The necessary documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant certificates of origin or conformity. Additionally, it may be required to provide specific import licenses for household appliances, as Brazil has regulatory requirements regarding appliance safety and energy efficiency standards.
