When shipping from Shanghai to Xiaolan, secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance during peak periods such as Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7) to avoid congestion and rollovers. Anticipate extended transit times due to typhoon season (June-November) and rainy season impacts (May-October), so build in extra buffer days. Communicate closely with local agents for container pick-up during holidays, and adjust cut-off times to mitigate delays, particularly around the Western New Year period (December 20-January 5).

Getting Home appliances 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. Most carriers recommend using the original packaging when available, or Heavy-duty cartons and pallets for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You can in some cases combine Countertop appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier cast-iron pieces 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 white goods are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance Is strongly recommended 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 kitchen gadgets contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store domestic appliances in a Dry 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 powered kitchen appliances may be subject to Energy-efficiency rules 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.
When shipping household appliances, it is important to ensure that items are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Due to the weight and fragility of large appliances, using proper cushioning materials and sturdy pallets is essential. Additionally, appliances should be adequately protected from moisture and saltwater exposure during ocean transport.
Shipping household appliances from Shanghai to Xiaolan requires proper documentation including a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary customs declarations. Since both locations are within China, local regulations and compliance with national standards for domestic shipments must also be adhered to, ensuring that all products meet safety and quality regulations.
