When shipping from Wuhan, China to New York, be mindful of the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and prepare for delays due to heavy rainfall and flooding (June-September). Book vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) to avoid congestion. Additionally, during the peak transpacific export season (July-October), allow for extra buffer days to account for port and rail congestion. Communicate with carriers for real-time updates on weather and schedule changes throughout these critical periods.

Shipping very heavy industrial machines necessitates professional rigging. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use sealed plastic covers with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for Generators. 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 backup generators are best 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 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 Industrial machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated industrial machinery may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and Generators Are better kept 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.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export licenses. Additionally, compliance with U.S. Customs regulations and import permits may be necessary for certain types of industrial machinery and construction equipment.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with U.S. import regulations, which may involve inspections and adherence to standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
