Shipping Cookware from Savannah to Taipei via Ocean Freight

Readying large appliances for freight necessitates Thorough preparation. 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 identify units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.

You may occasionally combine kitchen gadgets with food prep equipment, but only with Careful packing. 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 makes sense beyond basic carrier liability. Most brokers recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium Kitchen 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 moisture-controlled area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep kitchen gadgets, Cookware, 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 White goods 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 securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. This includes using appropriate cushioning materials and ensuring that items are properly loaded and secured in containers to withstand ocean shipping conditions. Additionally, appliances should be drained of any liquids and any removable parts should be secured to prevent movement.
