When shipping from Tianjin, China to Port Everglades, USA, prepare for significant delays during the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and typhoon season (June-November). Allocate extra buffer days for port operations and confirm flexible routing options to mitigate disruptions. Avoid critical cut-off times during the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February) to prevent rollovers. Monitor weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly, especially during peak export seasons (July-October, September-November) to ensure timely deliveries.

Getting white goods for freight necessitates careful steps. 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 identify units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You can in some cases combine small appliances with food prep equipment, but only with proper separation. 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 white goods are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance is advisable beyond basic carrier liability. Most brokers recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium food prep equipment. 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 domestic appliances in a well-ventilated area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep kitchen gadgets, kitchenware, 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 powered kitchen appliances may be subject to electrical safety standards in the destination country. Most exporters ensure that major 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 Home appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
When shipping household appliances, it is crucial to ensure that they are properly packed to prevent damage during transit. This includes using adequate cushioning and securing the items in containers to minimize movement. Additionally, large appliances may require special handling equipment at both the origin and destination ports due to their size and weight.
The required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance. It is important to ensure that all documents accurately reflect the contents and value of the shipment to facilitate smooth customs clearance in the United States.
