When shipping from Yantian, China to Valparaiso, Chile, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Include extra buffer days for port operations and confirm vessel space at least 3-4 weeks in advance during peak export periods (July-October). Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates, especially during the Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December), as delays can impact schedules significantly.

Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands careful planning. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, hire 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 must be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits 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 Construction machines.
High‑value power equipment are best 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 rigging 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 designed for it and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment, it is crucial to ensure that the equipment is securely packed and properly loaded to prevent shifting during transit. Additionally, heavy machinery may require special rigging or crating to comply with maritime safety standards.
Regulatory requirements include obtaining necessary export permits from China, ensuring compliance with Chilean import regulations, and providing detailed documentation such as invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin. Compliance with both countries' customs regulations is essential for smooth transit.
