When shipping from Paranagua to Suape, consider the Brazilian wet season (October-March) by adding extra buffer days into schedules and enhancing waterproof measures during peak rains (November-February). Anticipate port congestion during the soy export peak (February-June) and fruit export season (January-May), necessitating early bookings and flexible routing. Additionally, during the South Atlantic cyclone risk period (November-April), track weather forecasts closely and plan for potential diversions. Lastly, secure vessel space well in advance of the Western New Year holiday (December 20-January 5) to avoid rollovers.

Readying large appliances 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. Most carriers recommend using the original packaging when available, or Heavy-duty cartons and pallets for protection. Clearly mark units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine kitchen gadgets with food prep equipment, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier pots and pans at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter countertop 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 major appliances are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance makes sense 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 kitchen gadgets contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store kitchen appliances in a moisture-controlled 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 domestic appliances may be subject to import regulations 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 that they are properly packed to withstand ocean conditions, including vibrations and potential moisture exposure. Using sturdy packaging materials and securing appliances to prevent movement during transit is essential to avoid damage.
The shipment of household appliances requires compliance with Brazilian customs regulations, which include a commercial invoice, packing list, and any applicable import permits. Proper documentation must be submitted to facilitate customs clearance at both the departure and arrival ports.
