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 book covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits 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, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.
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 rigging 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 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 power equipment are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Required documentation typically includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary export licenses. Additionally, customs declarations must be prepared according to Argentine regulations.
