Prepare for potential disruptions during Brazil's wet season (October-March), including increased congestion at ports. Add extra buffer days into schedules and confirm vessel space well in advance, especially during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June). Monitor weather forecasts and revise routing plans as needed to mitigate risks from cyclones (November-April) and seasonal flooding (June-September). Communicate with carriers to manage cut-off times and avoid rollovers during high-demand periods.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates professional rigging. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use sealed plastic covers with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. For some destinations, You may also 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 a dedicated policy, 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 store 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 properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and power equipment are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Due to the size and weight of industrial machinery and construction equipment, specialized handling equipment is typically required at both the port of Paranagua and the port of Manaus. Additionally, securing the machinery properly for ocean transport is crucial to prevent damage during transit.
