Be mindful of the impacts of the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November), including heavy rainfall. Build in buffer days to schedules and arrange flexible berthing windows. During peak typhoon activity (June-November), anticipate sudden port closures and schedule variability.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires Engineered crating. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers 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 Should be Sealed against humidity. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a Commercial invoice, packing list, waybill, 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 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 Should be protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, 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 Industrial machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and power equipment 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.
Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment must be securely packaged and properly loaded to withstand ocean transport. Considerations include using appropriate containers, securing heavy machinery to prevent movement, and ensuring that equipment is cleaned to comply with international shipping regulations regarding pests and contaminants.
Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary export permits from Thailand. Import documentation for Mexico may include a customs declaration, import permits, and compliance with Mexican regulations for industrial machinery and construction equipment.
