When shipping from Paranagua, Brazil to New York, account for the Brazilian wet season (October-March) which can cause localized flooding and extended transit times. During the soy and fruit export peaks (February-June, January-May), anticipate severe congestion at terminals, so secure vessel space and inland transport well in advance. Additionally, during the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November), build in buffer days to accommodate potential weather disruptions. Monitor weather forecasts and adjust schedules accordingly to ensure timely deliveries.

Shipping very heavy industrial machines demands Engineered crating. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage 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 Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units must be Sealed against humidity. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically calls for a Commercial invoice, packing list, waybill, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for Generators. 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 backup generators Should be protected by Separate cargo insurance, 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 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 industrial machinery are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators Are better kept 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.
When shipping Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment, it is important to ensure that all items are securely packaged and properly labeled to prevent damage during ocean transport. Additionally, heavy machinery may require specific loading and unloading equipment at both the port of Paranagua and the port of New York due to their weight and size.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice detailing the machinery and equipment, a packing list, a bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from the Brazilian government. Importers in the U.S. also need to provide a customs declaration and may require compliance with U.S. regulations regarding machinery imports.
