When shipping from Sydney to Montevideo, anticipate significant disruptions during the Australia Wet Season (November-April) and the Southern Ocean Storm Season (May-September).

Book vessel space well in advance, especially during peak periods like the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and soy harvest export peak (February-June), as competition can lead to tight capacity. Stay updated on weather conditions and adjust routing as necessary to mitigate risks associated with seasonal storms and port closures.

Preparing 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. We recommend 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 sometimes 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 Small 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 Home appliances 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 Domestic appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store Home 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 Electrical home 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.
Household appliances should be securely packaged to prevent damage during ocean transit. It is important to ensure that items are properly cushioned and secured within the shipping container to withstand the movement and vibrations of ocean freight.
