When shipping from Montreal to Taipei via ocean, anticipate significant delays due to North America winter storms (December-March) and typhoon season (June-November). Include buffer days for potential port congestion and confirm vessel space well in advance, especially during peak periods like Black Friday (November-December). Monitor carriers for real-time updates and adjust cut-off times accordingly to mitigate disruptions from Golden Week (late January to mid-February).

Shipping very heavy industrial machines Requires careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units Should be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically Requires a customs 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 Generators. For some destinations, you should check if you need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.
High‑value backup 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 rigging are covered, and Keep 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 industrial machinery Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Industrial machinery and construction equipment must be securely packaged and properly braced to prevent damage during ocean transport. It is essential to consider the weight and dimensions of the equipment to ensure compliance with shipping regulations and container load limits.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Canada. Import permits and customs declarations will also be needed for Taiwan, along with compliance with local regulations regarding machinery imports.
