Be mindful of potential delays due to North America winter storms (December-March), and build in buffer days to your delivery commitments. Lock in trucking capacity early during peak holiday volumes (November-December) and the back-to-school surge (late July-September) to avoid tight cutoffs. Anticipate increased congestion during the summer holiday peak (June-September) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December), necessitating flexible routing options and extended lead times. Lastly, coordinate with carriers for real-time updates on weather and congestion impacts throughout the year.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment 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 Should be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders 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 Loading and unloading are covered, and retain 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 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 HVAC equipment and backup 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.
Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary export permits from Mexico. Additionally, importers must provide a Customs Bond and may need to complete a Form 7501 for U.S. Customs clearance.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, adherence to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) rules of origin, and ensuring that the machinery meets U.S. safety and environmental standards.
