When shipping from New York to Buenos Aires, be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative ports. During the North America Winter Storms (December-March), account for delays due to snow and ice, and avoid tight cutoffs. Additionally, during the South Atlantic Cyclone Risk (November-April), watch weather forecasts closely and allow for potential diversions. Lastly, confirm vessel space early during peak seasons, such as the South America fruit export peak (January-May) and soy export peak (February-June).

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates Engineered crating. Use purpose‑built 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 photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be Sealed against humidity. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, 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, 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 are best protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project value, 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 Construction machines may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on hardstanding, 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, 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 via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure that the equipment is securely packaged and properly braced to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, heavy machinery may require special lifting equipment for loading and unloading at both the port in New York and Buenos Aires.
The necessary documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant export permits from the United States. Import documentation required by Argentina may include an import license and compliance with local regulations for industrial machinery and construction equipment.
