When shipping from Ho Chi Minh City to Port Everglades, anticipate the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November), which can cause delays. Add buffer days to your schedules and coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates.

Shipping very heavy industrial machines Requires professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units Should be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically Requires a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We 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 HVAC equipment.
High‑value backup generators Should be protected by a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated industrial machinery Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment, ensure that the items are properly secured and protected against moisture and saltwater exposure during the ocean transit. Additionally, heavy machinery may require specialized crating or bracing to prevent movement and damage during transport.
The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant export permits from Vietnam. Importantly, a customs declaration must be submitted upon arrival in the United States, along with any certifications specific to industrial machinery and construction equipment, such as compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
