When shipping from Zhanjiang, China to Taipei, Taiwan, prepare for significant delays during the rainy season (May-October) due to heavy rainfall and port congestion. Secure vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) to avoid rollovers. Expect tighter capacity and longer lead times during the peak export season (September-November) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December). Additionally, allow for extra buffer days during the typhoon season (June-November) to accommodate potential disruptions.

Getting Home 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. We 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 Countertop appliances with kitchenware, but only with adequate cushioning. Place heavier Cookware at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter Small 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 strongly recommended 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 Domestic appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store domestic appliances in a Dry 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 powered kitchen appliances may be subject to Energy-efficiency rules 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, it is important to ensure proper packaging to prevent damage during transit. Appliances should be securely packed with cushioning materials to guard against impact and moisture exposure, as ocean conditions can be variable. Additionally, specific handling procedures may be required for larger appliances to comply with safety regulations.
Required documentation typically includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant certificates of origin or compliance. Import permits may also be necessary, depending on the specific type of household appliances being shipped, in compliance with Taiwanese regulations.
