The route from Zhanjiang to Mexico City via ocean is ideal for transporting large appliances due to its capacity for bulk shipments and cost-effectiveness.

When shipping from Zhanjiang, China to Mexico City, be cognizant of the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and the potential for delays due to heavy rainfall and port congestion. Book vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) to avoid rollovers. During the peak typhoon season (June-November), allow for buffer days for unpredictable weather disruptions. Additionally, expect increased congestion during the Christmas retail peak (October-December), and adjust schedules accordingly to ensure timely deliveries.

Readying white goods for freight demands careful steps. 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 mark units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine small appliances with kitchenware, but only with proper separation. 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 major appliances are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance is advisable beyond basic carrier liability. Our team suggests declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium food prep equipment. Verify that your policy covers water exposure, as many small appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store kitchen appliances in a well-ventilated area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep small appliances, kitchenware, 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 domestic appliances may be subject to electrical safety standards in the destination country. Our team suggests 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 small appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
When shipping household appliances, it's essential to ensure proper packaging to protect against moisture and saltwater exposure during transit. Appliances should be secured to prevent movement and damage. Additionally, special attention should be given to the weight and dimensions of the appliances, as these can affect loading and unloading processes at the ports.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with safety standards. It's also important to comply with Mexican customs regulations, which may require specific declarations for large appliances.
