When shipping from Zhanjiang to Xiaolan, anticipate significant delays during the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-November), as intense storms can disrupt port operations and inland transport. Book vessel space well in advance of the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February) to avoid capacity shortages. Additionally, prepare for increased congestion and longer lead times during the peak export seasons (July-October and September-December), necessitating buffer days to ensure timely delivery.

Preparing white goods for freight demands careful steps. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and fasten doors, cords, and loose shelves. Most carriers recommend using the original packaging when available, or reinforced boxes and pallets for protection. Clearly identify units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You Can sometimes combine small appliances with kitchenware, but only with proper separation. Place heavier cast-iron pieces at the bottom, add a rigid layer, then lighter countertop appliances above. Individually cushion 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 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 humidity damage, as many kitchen gadgets contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store Home 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 add 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 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 food prep equipment on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
When shipping household appliances, it is crucial to ensure that items are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Appliances should be anchored properly in containers to avoid shifting, and cushioning materials should be used to protect against impacts. Additionally, moisture-resistant packaging may be necessary to safeguard against humidity during ocean transport.
The shipping of household appliances within China requires proper documentation, including a commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant import/export permits. Customs declarations must accurately reflect the nature and value of the goods, and compliance with local regulations regarding safety and environmental standards is necessary.
