When shipping from Taipei to Port Said, expect delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in extra buffer days for port operations and secure vessel space well in advance, especially before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Christmas retail peak (October-December). Monitor Suez Canal congestion risks (November-February) and Mediterranean winter storms (November-March) to adjust schedules accordingly. Coordinate closely with local agents to manage potential disruptions during Eid holidays (March-June) and European summer holidays (July-August).

Readying white goods for freight Requires careful steps. 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 strong cartons with palletization for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine small appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with proper separation. Place heavier Cookware at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter Small appliances above. Individually protect glass lids, ceramic bakeware, and appliance attachments, and avoid overloading any single carton to keep weight manageable and prevent crushing.
Because major appliances 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 food prep equipment. 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 kitchen appliances in a well-ventilated area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep Countertop appliances, kitchenware, 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 domestic appliances may be subject to electrical safety standards in the destination country. We recommend that major 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 Home appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
Household appliances are typically bulky and require careful handling to prevent damage during transit. They should be securely packaged and loaded to minimize movement and impact, particularly due to the long ocean freight distance of 8542 km. Additionally, appliances may need to be secured with appropriate materials to withstand the conditions of ocean transport.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with both Taiwan and Egypt's import/export regulations. This may involve obtaining necessary certifications, such as safety and energy efficiency standards for household appliances.
