Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be Sealed against humidity. Use sealed plastic covers with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination.

High‑value Generators are best protected by Separate cargo insurance, 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 retain 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 may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and backup generators are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
