Importing heavy machinery from China requires more than a good price. Export packaging, customs documents, and commissioning procedures all affect whether the compressor arrives intact and starts reliably on the first run.

Industrial Export Packaging

• Use fumigation-free plywood crates that meet international shipping requirements.
• Protect electrical panels, gauges, and exposed fittings from moisture.
• Use anti-rust and anti-salt-spray treatment for sea freight.
• Secure the machine to prevent movement during lifting and transport.

Customs and Required Documents

• HS Code 841480 applies to air compressors and related machinery.
• Prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading.
• Include the CE certificate and certificate of origin when required.
• Confirm the destination country’s import duties and local certification needs.

If you are planning to buy screw compressor from China, ask the supplier to provide a complete document package before shipment so clearance is not delayed at the destination port.

First-Time Installation and Commissioning

• Place the compressor on a level, well-ventilated foundation.
• Confirm that the electrical supply matches the machine voltage and frequency.
• Check oil level, cooling air flow, and the rotation direction before start-up.
• Run the machine unloaded first, then gradually load it while monitoring temperature and pressure.

If local support is needed, contact the screw compressor supplier for remote commissioning guidance. A structured first run reduces the risk of avoidable damage and helps the machine reach full production quickly.
