The ocean route from Tianjin to Callao offers a reliable and efficient pathway for transporting large appliances and kitchen equipment. This maritime corridor is well-established, providing ample capacity for bulk shipments, which is ideal for moving significant volumes of home appliances. Additionally, the route benefits from competitive shipping rates, making it a cost-effective choice for manufacturers and retailers looking to expand their market reach in South America.
Tianjin boasts a robust port infrastructure, equipped with modern facilities capable of handling heavy cargo and large shipping vessels. The port's strategic location enhances connectivity with major logistics networks, facilitating smooth loading and unloading processes. Similarly, Callao serves as Peru's main port, featuring advanced handling equipment and efficient customs procedures that streamline the importation of domestic appliances into the region. Together, these ports create a seamless logistics environment for the movement of white goods across the Pacific.

When shipping from Tianjin, China to Callao, Peru, prepare for significant delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Include additional buffer days for port operations and account for potential congestion during the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February). Lock in vessel space well in advance, particularly during peak export periods (September-December), to mitigate rollover risks and ensure timely deliveries.

Readying large appliances 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. Our team suggests 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 kitchen gadgets with kitchenware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier cast-iron pieces at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter kitchen gadgets 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 makes sense 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 small 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 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 domestic appliances may be subject to import regulations 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 via ocean freight, it is important to ensure proper packaging to prevent damage during transit. Appliances should be securely packed with cushioning materials, and any fragile components should be labeled accordingly. Additionally, consider the weight and size of the appliances, as they may require special handling equipment during loading and unloading at the ports.
The required documentation for customs clearance includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of conformity or safety standards specific to household appliances. It is essential to ensure all documents are accurately completed and comply with both Chinese export regulations and Peruvian import requirements to facilitate smooth customs processing.
