Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. Customs brokers typically 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 industrial machines.
High‑value Generators Should be protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project value, confirm that Loading and unloading are covered, and store 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 hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and power equipment should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, export declaration from Vietnam, and import permits as mandated by Brazilian customs. Additionally, compliance with Brazil's regulatory requirements for industrial machinery is necessary, which may include safety certifications and environmental compliance documents.
Handling considerations include ensuring proper packaging to withstand ocean conditions, securing machinery to prevent movement during transit, and considering weight distribution for stability. Additionally, specialized equipment may be required for loading and unloading at both ports, given the size and weight of the machinery.
