When shipping from Paranagua, Brazil to Callao, Peru, consider the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and plan for potential port congestion during the soy and fruit export peaks (February-June, January-May). Build in extra buffer days to your schedules to mitigate delays from heavy rainfall and increased demand. Lock in vessel space and inland transport at least 4-6 weeks in advance to avoid rollovers, especially during the Western New Year period (December 20-January 5) and the Black Friday surge (mid-November to early December).

Readying white goods for freight Requires methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and fasten doors, cords, and loose shelves. Our team suggests using the original packaging when available, or Heavy-duty cartons and pallets for protection. Clearly identify units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine small appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier cast-iron pieces at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter kitchen gadgets above. Individually Wrap 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. We recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium countertop appliances. Verify that your policy covers humidity damage, as many small 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 Countertop appliances, bakeware, and other boxed items off bare concrete floors, and add 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. 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 food prep equipment on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
Household appliances should be securely packed to prevent damage during the ocean transit. They often require specialized handling due to their size and weight, and should be loaded in a way that minimizes movement and potential impact with other cargo.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with both Brazilian export regulations and Peruvian import regulations. Export licenses may be needed, and imported household appliances must meet Peruvian safety and quality standards, which may involve specific documentation for customs clearance.
