When shipping from Mexico City to Port Everglades, be mindful of the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) by scheduling sailings outside peak storm months and allowing for buffer days for potential delays. During the North American Winter Storms (December-March), lock in flexible delivery windows to account for snow and ice disruptions. Additionally, prepare for tight capacity during the summer holiday peak (late June-early September) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December), necessitating early bookings and adjusted lead times.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, authorities may require 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 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 Keep 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 are occasionally 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 Generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment, it is essential to secure and properly package the machinery to prevent damage during ocean transit. Ensure that all equipment is cleaned and free of soil or debris to comply with international shipping regulations. Additionally, verify that all machinery is appropriately labeled and that weight and dimensions are documented accurately for loading and unloading purposes.
Required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits or certificates. For Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment, it is also important to provide specific details about the equipment, such as model numbers and specifications, to facilitate customs clearance in the United States.
