Readying large appliances for freight Requires Thorough preparation. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and fasten doors, cords, and loose shelves. Our team suggests using the original packaging when available, or Heavy-duty cartons and pallets for protection. Clearly mark units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You may occasionally combine kitchen gadgets with Cookware and bakeware, but only with Careful packing. Place heavier cast-iron pieces 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 major appliances are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance makes sense beyond basic carrier liability. We recommend declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium Kitchen appliances. Verify that your policy covers humidity damage, as many small appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store kitchen appliances in a moisture-controlled area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep Countertop appliances, Cookware, 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 domestic appliances may be subject to import regulations in the destination country. We recommend that White goods 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.
Household appliances should be securely packed to prevent damage during transit, particularly due to the long ocean route of 14,375 km. It is crucial to use cushioning materials and ensure that appliances are stable within the shipping container to avoid movement and impact. Additionally, appliances may require specific temperature and humidity controls during transport to maintain their integrity.
Shipments of household appliances from Zhongshan to Veracruz must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Mexican import regulations. This includes obtaining the necessary export licenses from Chinese authorities and ensuring that appliances meet Mexican safety and quality standards. Proper documentation such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin must also be prepared for customs clearance in both countries.
