When shipping from Altamira, Mexico to Suape, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to seasonal factors. During the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November), build in buffer days to accommodate potential route disruptions and secure alternative ports of refuge. Additionally, prepare for increased congestion during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and soy export peak (February-June); secure vessel space and inland transport well in advance. Lastly, adjust for weather conditions during Brazil's wet season (October-March) to mitigate risks from flooding and delays.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment Should be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, you should check if you need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.
High‑value Generators Should be protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that water damage are covered, and Keep inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and Generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Industrial machinery and construction equipment require specialized handling due to their size and weight. Proper securing of equipment is essential to prevent damage during ocean transit. Additionally, equipment should be inspected for any loose parts or fluids that may need to be drained prior to shipping.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and import permits specific to industrial machinery and construction equipment. Additionally, compliance with Brazilian customs regulations and any necessary certifications for the specific type of machinery being shipped must be adhered to.
