Shipping Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment from Shunde to Altamira via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers 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 Should be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.

Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. We 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 HVAC equipment.

High‑value Generators 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 water damage are covered, and Keep 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 Can sometimes 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 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 plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

When shipping Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment, it is essential to ensure that the cargo is properly secured and protected from moisture and saltwater exposure during the ocean transit. Heavy machinery often requires specialized crating or bracing to prevent movement. Additionally, it is important to assess weight distribution for loading onto vessels, considering the unique dimensions and shapes of the equipment.

The required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant export permits from China. Additionally, it is necessary to provide import permits or certificates required by Mexican authorities for Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment, as well as compliance with safety and regulatory standards applicable in Mexico.
