When shipping from Teoloyucan, Mexico to Shekou, China, be mindful of the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific hurricane seasons (June-November), which may cause delays and necessitate flexible routing. Book vessel space well in advance during peak periods like the China Golden Week (September 20-October 7) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion. Incorporate additional buffer days for potential disruptions due to winter storms in North America (December-March) and ensure all cargo is properly secured to mitigate risks during adverse weather conditions.

Preparing large appliances for freight necessitates methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and tape doors, cords, and loose shelves. Our team suggests using the original packaging when available, or reinforced boxes and pallets for protection. Clearly Label units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You Can sometimes combine kitchen gadgets with food prep equipment, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier pots and pans at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter kitchen gadgets above. Individually cushion glass lids, ceramic bakeware, and appliance attachments, and avoid overloading any single carton to keep weight manageable and prevent crushing.
Because Home 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 water exposure, as many small appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store Home 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 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 Electrical home 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 small appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or conformity, specifically for household appliances to comply with Chinese regulations.
Seasonal weather patterns, such as typhoon season in the Pacific, can affect shipping conditions and port operations, potentially impacting the handling of household appliances during certain months.
