When shipping from Tangier Med, Morocco to Yantian, China, anticipate significant delays due to Mediterranean winter storms (November-March) and peak holiday volumes (October-December). Build in extra time for port calls and alternative routing options. During the Christmas retail peak (October-January), secure vessel space well in advance and plan for extended lead times. Monitor weather forecasts closely and communicate revised schedules to mitigate risks associated with seasonal disruptions.

Getting white goods for freight demands methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and fasten doors, cords, and loose shelves. Most carriers recommend using the original packaging when available, or strong cartons with palletization for protection. Clearly mark units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You can in some cases combine small appliances with kitchenware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier cast-iron pieces 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 white goods are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance is advisable beyond basic carrier liability. Our team suggests declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium countertop appliances. Verify that your policy covers humidity damage, as many kitchen gadgets 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 small appliances, 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 powered kitchen appliances may be subject to electrical safety standards in the destination country. Our team suggests 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.
When shipping household appliances, it's important to ensure they are properly packaged to prevent damage during ocean transit. This includes using reinforced packaging materials and securing appliances to avoid movement. Additionally, appliances should be drained of any liquids and cleaned to comply with customs regulations.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin. Compliance with Chinese regulations for household appliances, including safety standards and import permits, is also essential to facilitate smooth customs clearance.
