When shipping from Sihanoukville to Boston, account for the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) and prepare for heavy rainfall and port congestion, adding buffer days to schedules. During peak transpacific export season (July-October), secure vessel space early to avoid tight capacity and anticipate extended transit times due to winter storms in North America (December-March). Monitor carriers for real-time updates, especially during the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November), to reduce disruptions from weather-related delays.

Getting Home appliances for freight Requires Thorough preparation. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and Secure 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 can in some cases combine Countertop appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with Careful packing. Place heavier Cookware 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 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 Kitchen appliances. Verify that your policy covers Moisture-related damage, as many small appliances 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, Cookware, and other boxed items off bare concrete floors, and Use 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 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 Home appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
When shipping household appliances via ocean freight, it is important to ensure proper packaging to withstand the long transit distance of 14,098 km. Appliances should be secured to prevent movement during transit, and moisture-resistant materials are recommended due to potential exposure to humidity. Additionally, appliances with glass components should be handled with care to prevent breakage.
Shipping household appliances from Cambodia to the United States requires compliance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, including proper documentation such as a Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, and any necessary certifications to meet safety and environmental standards.
