When shipping from Nansha, China to Itapoa, Brazil, anticipate significant delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Add extra buffer days to account for port congestion and confirm vessel space well in advance, especially before the Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February). Additionally, consider Brazil's Wet Season (October-March) and South Atlantic Cyclone Risk (November-April) which may impact transit times. Stay updated on weather forecasts and adjust routing as necessary to mitigate disruptions.

Shipping very heavy industrial machines necessitates professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders 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 Construction machines.
High‑value backup generators are best protected by a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that rigging are covered, and retain 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 industrial machinery may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and backup generators are safest 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.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment on this route, it is crucial to ensure proper packing and securing of heavy and oversized items to withstand ocean transport conditions. Additionally, specialized equipment may be required for loading and unloading at both ports due to the weight and dimensions of the machinery.
The necessary documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any required export permits from China.
