When shipping from Da Nang, Vietnam to Bogota, Colombia, anticipate significant delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November) and prepare for congestion during the peak fruit export season (January-May, September-December). Add buffer days to your transit plans and maintain communication with carriers for real-time updates. Additionally, book vessel space and equipment well in advance during high-demand periods, such as the Christmas retail peak (October-December), to mitigate rollover risks and ensure timely deliveries.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates professional rigging. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits applicable to your destination. Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. For some destinations, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for HVAC equipment.
High‑value Generators are best protected by a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project value, confirm that rigging are covered, and store inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built construction machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and power equipment are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, it is essential to ensure proper securing and protection during ocean freight to prevent damage due to vibrations and shifting. Additionally, oversized or heavy machinery may require special handling and equipment for loading and unloading at the ports.
The required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Vietnam. For importation into Colombia, a customs declaration and compliance with local regulations regarding industrial machinery may also be necessary.
