Shipping Kitchenware from Suape to Atlanta via Ocean Freight

Getting large appliances for freight necessitates Thorough preparation. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and Secure doors, cords, and loose shelves. We recommend using the original packaging when available, or reinforced boxes and pallets for protection. Clearly mark units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.

You can in some cases combine kitchen gadgets with food prep equipment, but only with Careful packing. Place heavier Cookware 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 white goods 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 Moisture-related damage, as many Domestic appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.

Store domestic 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 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 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 Home appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.

Household appliances require careful handling to prevent damage during transit. It is essential to secure appliances properly to avoid movement within the container, and cushioning materials should be used to protect delicate components. Additionally, appliances should be drained of fluids, such as water from washing machines, to prevent leaks.

Shipping household appliances from Brazil to the United States requires compliance with U.S. import regulations, including adherence to safety and energy efficiency standards set by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
