Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units needs to be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically involves a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any regulatory approvals 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 backup generators are best 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 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 industrial machinery may 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 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.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Vietnam. Additionally, customs declarations must be prepared for entry into Hong Kong.
