When shipping from Zhanjiang to Xiamen, be mindful of the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Southwest Monsoon (May-November), which can cause delays due to heavy rainfall and port operations slowdowns. Book vessel space well in advance, especially before the Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February), as availability decreases. Plan for extended transit times and alternative berthing windows to mitigate weather-related impacts during these critical periods.

Preparing Home appliances for freight demands careful steps. 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 strong cartons with palletization for protection. Clearly mark units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You Can sometimes combine Countertop appliances with kitchenware, but only with proper separation. Place heavier Cookware 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 Home appliances 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 food prep equipment. 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 Dry 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 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 Energy-efficiency rules 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 Home appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
Household appliances require careful handling to prevent damage during ocean freight.
