When shipping from Taipei to Xiaolan, consider the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Allow for additional buffer time due to potential port congestion and weather-related disruptions, especially during peak rainfall (June-September) and typhoon months (August-October). Book vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance of the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7) to avoid delays. Stay updated on weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly to ensure timely deliveries.

Shipping very heavy industrial machines 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 Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units 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, Consider VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment 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, You may also need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for HVAC equipment.
High‑value backup 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 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 industrial machinery 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, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment requires careful handling due to its size and weight. Proper securing methods, such as using heavy-duty straps and bracing, are essential to prevent movement during transit. Additionally, equipment should be thoroughly cleaned to comply with any phytosanitary regulations upon arrival in China.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, export declaration, and any necessary import permits or licenses for Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment.
