When shipping from Kaohsiung, Taiwan to Ningbo, China, be mindful of the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) by including buffer days for potential disruptions. Arrange vessel space well in advance of the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion and delays. During the peak retail period (November-December), prepare for longer handling times and adjust cut-off times accordingly. Additionally, account for the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) by ensuring robust cargo securing measures and flexible routing options.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for Generators. For some destinations, You may also need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for industrial machines.
High‑value Generators are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, 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 retain 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 designed for it and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and backup generators Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and customs declaration. Additionally, specific regulatory requirements may necessitate certificates of origin or compliance with safety standards for industrial machinery and construction equipment.
Seasonal factors such as typhoon season, which typically occurs from May to October, may affect ocean freight conditions. Shippers should monitor weather forecasts and potential disruptions during this period to ensure safe transport of industrial machinery and construction equipment.
