When shipping from Tampa to Suape, account for the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative ports during peak storm periods (August-October). Additionally, expect increased congestion during the North America Summer Holiday Peak (late June-early September) and the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December), necessitating early bookings and flexible delivery windows. Lastly, stay updated on weather conditions and potential disruptions during Brazil's Wet Season (October-March) to ensure timely deliveries.

Shipping very heavy factory equipment Requires careful planning. Use purpose‑built 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 Should be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically Requires a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, 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 HVAC equipment.
High‑value power equipment Should be protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project value, 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 Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on hardstanding, 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 plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Shipping industrial machinery from Tampa to Suape requires specific documentation including a Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary export permits.

When shipping construction equipment via ocean freight from Tampa to Suape, it is essential to ensure that all machinery is securely packed and adequately loaded for stability during transit.
