Protected transport of your critical Food Prep Equipment cargo
Taiwan
China
The ocean route from Taipei to Yantian is particularly advantageous for transporting large appliances and other home goods due to its efficient shipping capacity. This pathway allows for the movement of bulk shipments, ensuring that kitchen and domestic appliances can be delivered in a cost-effective manner. Additionally, the maritime route minimizes the risk of damage during transit, a critical factor for fragile items typically found in this category.
Taipei boasts a modern port equipped with advanced loading and unloading facilities, facilitating smooth operations for exporters of white goods. In Yantian, the port is renowned for its robust infrastructure, featuring state-of-the-art container handling capabilities that streamline the arrival of large shipments. Both ports are strategically located, enhancing connectivity to regional markets and supporting the timely distribution of appliances. This solid logistical framework ensures that businesses can maintain a steady supply chain for their products.

When shipping from Taipei to Yantian, prepare for the East Asia rainy season (May-October) by adding buffer days to schedules and using waterproof coverings, especially during peak rainfall (June-September). Secure vessel space well in advance of the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion and delays. Additionally, anticipate disruptions during the Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November) by allowing flexible routing options and monitoring weather updates closely. Finally, consider increased demand during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and adjust cut-off times accordingly.

Readying Home appliances for freight Requires Thorough preparation. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and Secure doors, cords, and loose shelves. Most carriers 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 Countertop appliances with Cookware and bakeware, but only with Careful packing. Place heavier Cookware at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter countertop 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 strongly recommended beyond basic carrier liability. We recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium Kitchen appliances. Verify that your policy covers Moisture-related damage, as many kitchen gadgets contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store kitchen appliances in a Dry area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep Countertop appliances, 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 domestic appliances may be subject to Energy-efficiency rules in the destination country. We recommend 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.
When shipping household appliances, it is crucial to ensure proper packaging to prevent damage during transit. Appliances should be secured to avoid movement within the container, and fragile components must be cushioned adequately. Additionally, it is important to check for any specific handling requirements for large appliances, as they may need special equipment for loading and unloading.
The documentation required for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary import/export permits. It is essential to provide accurate descriptions and values of the household appliances being shipped to facilitate smooth customs clearance between Taiwan and China.
