When shipping from Paranagua, Brazil to Denver, United States, account for the Brazilian wet season (October-March) by building buffer days into schedules and avoiding tight transshipment connections. Anticipate port congestion during the soy (February-June) and fruit export peaks (January-May), necessitating early bookings and flexible routing. Additionally, be mindful of potential delays due to North American winter storms (December-March) and summer holiday peaks (late June-early September), which can impact inland transport and delivery timelines. Always stay updated on weather conditions and adjust plans accordingly.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands 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. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for 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 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 industrial machines.
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 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines are occasionally 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 should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
The necessary documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and an import declaration. Additionally, compliance with US Customs regulations and any required import permits for industrial machinery must be met.
Handling considerations include securing machinery to prevent movement during transit, ensuring proper crating or packaging to protect against saltwater exposure, and adhering to weight limits for container loading.
