When shipping from Teoloyucan to Manzanillo, prepare for the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific hurricane seasons (June-November), which may require alternative routing to accommodate potential disruptions. During peak retail periods, such as Black Friday and Christmas (November-December), confirm vessel space well in advance to avoid congestion-related delays.

Readying large appliances 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 reinforced boxes and pallets for protection. Clearly identify units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine kitchen gadgets 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 cushion 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 makes sense 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 kitchen appliances in a moisture-controlled 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 domestic appliances may be subject to import regulations 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.
When shipping household appliances, it is important to ensure that items are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Appliances should be properly crated or palletized, and any fragile components should be cushioned. Additionally, moisture protection is crucial due to the ocean environment.
Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any applicable customs declarations. It is essential to ensure that all documents are accurately filled out to comply with regulatory requirements for domestic shipping within Mexico.
