When shipping from Sanshui, China to Santos, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in extra buffer days to account for port congestion and potential weather disruptions. During the Brazil Wet Season (October-March), account for increased rainfall and flooding risks, which may affect transit times. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and the Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February) to avoid capacity shortages.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires careful planning. 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. Stabilize and strap 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 Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a customs 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 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 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 construction machinery 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 Generators 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.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment via ocean freight, it is crucial to ensure that all items are properly secured and protected against moisture and saltwater exposure. Heavy machinery may require specialized crating or containerization to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, weight distribution in the container must be carefully managed to avoid shifting during transport.
Required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any specific import permits required by Brazilian authorities for industrial machinery and construction equipment. Additionally, exporters must ensure compliance with any regulatory requirements regarding safety and environmental standards applicable in Brazil.
