When shipping from Sydney to Lazaro Cardenas, consider the Australia Wet Season (November-April), allowing extra buffer time for port operations due to potential flooding. Plan sailings outside the peak monsoon period (December-March) to avoid delays. Additionally, anticipate extended transit times during the Southern Ocean Storm Season (May-September) and the Indian Ocean Cyclone Season (April-June and October-December). Arrange vessel space well in advance during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to mitigate congestion and ensure timely deliveries.

Getting white goods for freight Requires methodical work. 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 mark units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You can in some cases combine small appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with adequate cushioning. 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 white goods are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance is advisable beyond basic carrier liability. We recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium countertop 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 domestic appliances in a well-ventilated 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 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 powered kitchen appliances may be subject to electrical safety standards 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 small appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
Household appliances must be securely packaged to prevent damage during ocean freight. It's important to use appropriate cushioning materials and ensure that the appliances are immobilized in their containers to withstand the motion of the sea. Additionally, special care should be taken with electronic components to protect against moisture.
The necessary documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any required import permits specific to household appliances in Mexico. It is also essential to comply with both Australian export regulations and Mexican import regulations to ensure smooth customs clearance.
