For some destinations, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for industrial machines.
High‑value power equipment are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full value, 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 heavy equipment are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground.

If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
