Shipping Construction Machines from Shekou to Mexico City via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for industrial machines.

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 replacement cost, confirm that water damage are covered, and retain inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built factory equipment 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 concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and backup generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

Documentation for shipping industrial machinery includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from China. Additionally, import permits and customs declarations are required for Mexico, which may include a certificate of origin and compliance with Mexican safety standards.

Seasonal considerations include potential typhoon activity in the South China Sea during the summer months, which may affect shipping schedules and routes. Additionally, the rainy season in Mexico from May to October may impact port operations in Mexico City.
