When shipping from Taipei, Taiwan to Valparaiso, Chile, anticipate significant delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in extra buffer days for transit and delivery commitments, especially during peak rainfall (June-September) and typhoon months (August-October). Confirm vessel space and equipment well in advance, particularly before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Christmas retail peak (October-December), as delays are common during these periods. Monitor weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate disruptions.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands professional rigging. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, hire 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 record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be protected from rain and condensation. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. For some destinations, you should check if you need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for industrial machines.
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 total project value, confirm that rigging 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 are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and any necessary export permits from Taiwan. Additionally, import permits and customs declarations will be needed upon arrival in Chile.
Yes, due to the size and weight of construction equipment, proper securing and bracing during loading and transport is essential to prevent damage. Additionally, equipment must be cleaned to comply with biosecurity regulations in Chile, and any hazardous materials must be declared and handled according to international shipping regulations.
