Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a customs 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 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 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 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 construction 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 industrial fans and power equipment 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.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment via ocean freight, it is essential to secure the cargo properly to prevent movement during transit. Additionally, equipment may require disassembly for shipping to conform to container size limitations. Heavy machinery should be loaded on flat racks or specialized containers, ensuring compliance with weight distribution regulations.
Required documentation includes the bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any specific export licenses for the machinery. Import permits and customs declarations must also be prepared to comply with Chinese regulations upon arrival in Shekou.
