When shipping from Taipei to Xiaolan, consider the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in additional buffer time due to potential port congestion and weather-related disruptions, especially during peak rainfall (June-September) and typhoon months (August-October). Secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance of the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7) to avoid delays. Keep track of weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly to ensure timely deliveries.

Getting Home appliances 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. Most carriers recommend using the original packaging when available, or reinforced boxes 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 adequate cushioning. Place heavier pots and pans at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter countertop 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 strongly recommended 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 kitchen gadgets 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, 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 Energy-efficiency rules 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.
When shipping household appliances, it's important to ensure they are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. This includes using protective materials such as bubble wrap and sturdy crates. Additionally, appliances should be properly secured in the shipping container to avoid movement and impact during the ocean journey.
Required documentation for shipping household appliances includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of compliance with Chinese import regulations. It's essential to ensure that all documentation is accurate and complete to facilitate smooth customs clearance.
