Shipping Backup Generators from Tokyo to Newark via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy factory equipment 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 industrial fans 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 enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting industrial machinery 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 industrial machines.

High‑value power equipment 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 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 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 limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Japan, as well as compliance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, including an Importer Security Filing (ISF).

Seasonal considerations include potential typhoon activity in the Pacific during late summer and early fall, which may affect shipping schedules and port operations in Tokyo. Additionally, winter weather in Newark may impact unloading and handling operations at the port.
