MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT
MECHANICAL SHIPPING
The international transportation of mechanical equipment involves a high degree of specialization and a complex operational process, as these pieces of equipment are usually large, heavy and structurally complex.
Professional packing
Mechanical equipment :Packing and loading experience
Packagers should use sturdy wooden crates or steel frames to package large machinery and equipment, and they should use shockproof materials such as foam and pearl cotton inside the package to protect the equipment from shocks and vibrations during transportation.
Reinforced Packaging:
Moisture and anti-corrosion: the equipment may come into contact with humid environments during transportation, so the packaging should include moisture-proof materials (e.g., moisture-proof paper, desiccant) and anti-corrosion treatments, especially for metal parts.
Load optimization:
Ensure even distribution of weight when loading equipment onto a container or truck to prevent tilting or damage from an unstable center of gravity.Typically, heavy equipment requires specialized lifting equipment for loading and unloading.
Fixing and Supporting:
Personnel must reinforce the loaded equipment with straps, wedges, and support frames to prevent movement or shaking during transportation. Oversized or overweight equipment may necessitate special transportation racks or support devices.
Space Utilization:
Optimize the use of space in the container or transporter according to the size and shape of the equipment. The parts of the equipment are rationally arranged according to volume and weight to ensure maximum use of transport space.
Mechanical equipment: Transportation mode selection and optimization
Ocean transportation experience:
Heavy cargo transportation:
Heavy cargo ships or semi-submersible ships usually transport large machinery and equipment by sea. These vessels specialize in transporting oversized and overweight equipment with high loading capacity and stability.
Roll-On-Roll-Off (RO-RO):
For equipment that can be moved, a roll-on roll-off mode of transportation can be chosen, where the equipment is rolled directly from the truck or railroad carrier into the ship, reducing loading and unloading time and cost.
Bulk Transportation:
Bulk carrier transportation ensures that it properly secures and protects the equipment during transportation, especially for particularly large equipment or shipments that require special configurations.
Air transportation experience:
Efficient and fast:
Although airfreight is expensive, for equipment requiring urgent delivery, airfreight can provide a fast transportation solution. This method is suitable for critical projects or for equipment that needs to be supplied quickly due to unforeseen circumstances.
Airfreight has strict restrictions on volume and weight, often requiring equipment to be broken down into smaller parts for transportation, with special coordination and arrangements.
Road and rail intermodal experience:
Heavy truck transportation:
In road transportation, the use of special heavy trucks is required, which are equipped with great load capacity and stability and are capable of transporting overweight or oversized equipment.
Rail transportation:
It is suitable for long-distance, cross-border transportation of heavy equipment, especially in inter-continental transportation. Rail transportation is more stable and able to handle the weight of large equipment.
Multimodal Transportation:
Usually combines multiple modes of transportation, such as sea, road and rail, in order to facilitate the transportation of equipment from the production site to the final destination and optimize the transportation time and cost.
Mechanical equipment: Customs Clearance and Compliance Experience
Document Preparation:
Commercial Invoice & Packing List: Ensure that all documents are detailed and accurate, including information such as description of the equipment, quantity, unit price, total price, manufacturer, origin and destination.
Technical specifications and certifications:
Provide the technical specifications of the equipment and certification documents that comply with the regulations of the destination country, such as CE certification, UL certification, etc., to ensure that the equipment complies with the standards at the time of customs clearance.
Import License:
According to the requirements of the regulations of the destination country, it may be necessary to provide an import license or special licensing documents, especially for high-tech or special machinery and equipment.
Customs Classification and Tax Administration:
Customs Classification: Customs classification of large machinery and equipment is complex, and you need to choose the appropriate customs code according to the type, use and function of the equipment to ensure smooth customs clearance.
Tariff and VAT:
Understand the tariff and VAT policies of the destination country for machinery and equipment, conduct costing in advance, and provide tax planning suggestions for customers.
Transportation Risk Management: Transportation risk management
Insurance Arrangement:
Take out appropriate cargo insurance for the machinery and equipment, especially for high-value or customized equipment, to ensure timely compensation for any damage or loss during transportation.
Contingency plans:
Develop contingency plans to deal with emergencies, such as transportation delays, damages, accidents, etc., to ensure that we can respond quickly and solve problems.
