Add buffer days to schedules to address potential delays from heavy rainfall and port congestion. Confirm vessel space and equipment well in advance during peak periods (July-October) to minimize capacity issues.

Getting white goods for freight necessitates 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 strong cartons with palletization for protection. Clearly identify units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You can in some cases combine small appliances with food prep equipment, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier cast-iron pieces at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter kitchen gadgets above. Individually protect 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 advisable 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 humidity damage, as many small appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store domestic appliances in a well-ventilated 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 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 electrical safety standards 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 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 proper packaging to prevent damage during ocean transit. Appliances should be secured in sturdy crates or pallets, and any fragile components should be cushioned. Additionally, moisture protection is crucial due to the humid conditions during ocean freight.
