When shipping from Itapoa, Brazil to Laem Chabang, Thailand, account for the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and build in buffer days to schedules due to potential flooding and congestion. During the South Atlantic cyclone risk period (November-April), monitor weather forecasts closely and plan around tight delivery commitments. Additionally, prepare for increased competition for vessel space during the South America fruit export peak (January-May) and soy export peak (February-June), necessitating early bookings and flexible transit plans.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires professional rigging. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, work with 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 HVAC equipment Should be protected from rain and condensation. Use sealed plastic covers with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, 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 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 a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project value, 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans 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.
Shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment requires careful packing and securing to prevent damage during transit. It is essential to use appropriate containers, such as flat racks or open-top containers, which can accommodate oversized machinery. Additionally, ensuring that the equipment is properly labeled and documented for customs clearance is crucial.
The required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any applicable export licenses. It is also necessary to provide certificates of origin and compliance with local regulations for industrial machinery and construction equipment. Ensuring that all documents are accurate and complete will facilitate a smoother customs process.
