When shipping from Mundra, India to Shanghai, China, anticipate significant delays during the southwest monsoon (June-September) due to port congestion and weather-related slow steaming. Add extra buffer days and arrange priority berthing where possible. During the northeast monsoon (November-March), plan for rough seas and slower vessel speeds; avoid time-sensitive shipments to mitigate delays. Additionally, be mindful of potential disruptions during the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) in China, and plan critical sailings to depart at least one week prior to avoid congestion.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates careful planning. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. 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 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 total project value, confirm that Loading and unloading are covered, and Keep 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 hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify 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, it is essential to ensure that the cargo is properly secured and protected from moisture and saltwater during transit. Additionally, heavy machinery may require specialized lifting equipment for loading and unloading at both Mundra and Shanghai ports due to their weight and size.
Shipments of industrial machinery and construction equipment from India to China must comply with both countries' customs regulations, including obtaining necessary import/export licenses, providing detailed packing lists, and adhering to safety and environmental standards. Additionally, all machinery must be free from soil and pests to meet China's biosecurity regulations.
