When shipping from Itapoa, Brazil to Veracruz, Mexico, account for the Brazil wet season (October-March) by building in extra buffer days and using waterproof coverings during peak rains (November-February).

Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. For some destinations, You may also need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for HVAC equipment.
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 replacement cost, confirm that rigging are covered, and Keep 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 Construction machines are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment requires careful handling due to its size and weight. Proper securing methods, such as using dunnage and crating, are essential to prevent movement during transit. Additionally, it's important to ensure that the equipment is cleaned of soil and plant material to comply with international shipping regulations.
Documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with Mexican regulations. It is also important to have specific permits for industrial machinery to meet regulatory requirements in Mexico.
