When shipping from Shanghai to Navegantes, book vessel space and inland transport well in advance during peak periods, particularly around Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December). Anticipate terminal congestion and longer handling times during these windows, so allow for additional buffer days in your transit plans. Monitor weather conditions during the typhoon season (June-November) and Brazil's wet season (October-March) to adjust schedules accordingly and ensure cargo safety.

Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands professional rigging. 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 industrial fans must be protected from rain and condensation. 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 industrial machinery typically calls for a detailed 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 power equipment Should be protected by a dedicated policy, 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 heavy equipment are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed 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, it is crucial to ensure that all items are securely packaged and properly labeled to withstand ocean freight conditions. This includes using appropriate crating and securing methods to prevent damage during transit and handling at ports. Additionally, heavy and oversized equipment may require specialized handling and equipment for loading and unloading.
The required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any specific export licenses for the machinery being shipped. It is also essential to comply with Brazil's regulatory requirements, which may include import permits and adherence to safety and environmental standards for industrial machinery and construction equipment.
