When shipping from Yantian to Ningbo, anticipate significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November). Add extra buffer days for port operations and utilize waterproof coverings for cargo during peak rainfall (June-September). Plan around tight transshipment windows, especially during typhoon season (June-November), as congestion can escalate. Additionally, communicate closely with carriers for real-time updates, particularly around the Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7) to mitigate disruptions.

Preparing large appliances for freight demands methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and Secure doors, cords, and loose shelves. Our team suggests using the original packaging when available, or Heavy-duty cartons and pallets for protection. Clearly identify units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You Can sometimes combine kitchen gadgets with kitchenware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier Cookware at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter kitchen gadgets above. Individually Wrap 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. Our team suggests declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium countertop appliances. Verify that your policy covers Moisture-related damage, 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 small appliances, bakeware, 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 Electrical home 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 Home appliances 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 that items are properly packed to prevent damage during transit. Appliances should be secured in their original packaging, if possible, and cushioned to withstand movement. Additionally, consider the weight and size of larger appliances, as they may require special handling equipment at both ports.
The required documentation for shipping household appliances includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant customs declarations. Since both Yantian and Ningbo are within China, ensure compliance with domestic regulations, including any specific requirements for appliances related to safety standards and energy efficiency labels.
