Shipping Generators from Busan to Savannah via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands Engineered crating. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, Engage 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 Document its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be Sealed against humidity. Use Shrink wrap with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.

Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a Commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any Export licenses 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 may also need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.

High‑value Generators are best protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full value, confirm that Loading and unloading 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 are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

Due to the size and weight of industrial machinery and construction equipment, specialized handling equipment such as cranes and forklifts are often required for loading and unloading. Additionally, securing the cargo properly during ocean transit is critical to prevent damage from movement and shifting.

All equipment must comply with U.S. import regulations, including adherence to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements. This includes providing necessary documentation such as a bill of lading, commercial invoice, and any required import permits. Additionally, machinery may need to meet specific safety and environmental standards set by U.S. regulatory agencies.
