When shipping from Haiphong, Vietnam to Paranagua, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November) and the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March). Add extra buffer days to schedules to accommodate port congestion and weather-related disruptions. Secure vessel space and inland transport at least 3-4 weeks in advance during peak periods (February-June for soy and January-May for fruit). Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates, especially during the South Atlantic cyclone risk months (November-April) to mitigate potential schedule variability.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates 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. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be Sealed against humidity. Use Shrink wrap with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves 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 Generators. For some destinations, authorities may require 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 Industrial machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines may be 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 Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, it is essential to ensure proper packaging and securing of the cargo to withstand ocean transport. Heavy and oversized machinery may require specialized crating or bracing to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, loading and unloading equipment must be available at both ports due to the weight and dimensions of the items.
The necessary documentation for customs clearance includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant export licenses or certificates. Import permits from Brazilian authorities may also be required, along with compliance with regulatory standards for industrial machinery and construction equipment.
