Shipping very heavy industrial machines demands professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul 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 must be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically calls for a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, 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 Construction machines.
High‑value backup generators are best 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 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 industrial machinery are occasionally 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 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 Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, it's important to ensure that all items are securely packed and properly crated to withstand ocean transport. Additionally, heavy machinery may require special lifting equipment and consideration for weight limits on vessels. It is also crucial to verify that all equipment complies with safety and regulatory standards for both Vietnam and China.
Regulatory requirements include obtaining necessary export permits from Vietnamese authorities and ensuring compliance with Chinese import regulations, which may involve customs declarations, inspections, and adherence to safety standards for industrial machinery. It is also essential to provide accurate documentation, including invoices and packing lists, to facilitate smooth customs clearance in Yantian.
