Certified packaging and customs logistics: the Transpack solution for international HVAC/R shipments

In the air conditioning and refrigeration sector, managing international shipments is a crucial step to ensure product integrity, on-time delivery and full regulatory compliance. Complex and often fragile components such as chillers, rooftop units, air handling units and electrical panels need to be handled with extreme care, both in the packaging and logistics phases.

Transpack, with its decades of experience in the field of industrial packaging, offers a structured solution for HVAC/R companies that export their systems all over the world: an integrated service that starts from the design of the packaging up to customs and document management, passing through traceable and high-performance logistics.

Packaging compliant with international regulations

One of the biggest obstacles in international shipping is compliance with the phytosanitary regulations required by different countries. Transpack produces wooden packaging that complies with the ISPM-15 standard, which is mandatory for all extra-EU exports that use wooden packaging material. This standard requires that the wood is subjected to heat treatment or fumigation to eliminate the presence of harmful parasites, and that it is subsequently marked with the globally recognized IPPC/FAO mark .

Transpack packaging is also designed with engineering attention, considering weight, center of gravity, anchoring points and dynamic stresses during transport. In addition to treated wood, high-performance technical materials such as multilayer panels, reinforced metal structures and anti-vibration systems are used to protect even the most sensitive equipment.

Integrated customs management and logistics

In addition to the technical component of packaging, Transpack offers complete management of the logistics chain thanks to strategic partnerships with operators specialized in international shipments and customs practices. These synergies allow Transpack to operate as a single point of contact for the entire shipping process, supporting the customer from the early stages with documentary consultancy, drafting of certificates of origin, filling out customs declarations and coordination with international carriers.

The integrated approach significantly reduces downtime, prevents customs disputes and ensures a continuous and efficient transport flow. Furthermore, thanks to advanced tracking and monitoring solutions , each shipment is constantly monitored, with the possibility of real-time verification of position, temperature, humidity and possible impacts.

Tailor-made solutions for the HVAC/R sector

Transpack ’s strength lies in its ability to design customized logistics solutions for every type of HVAC/R product . Each piece of equipment intended for transport – from a small electrical panel to a large chiller – is analyzed individually based on its physical characteristics, expected environmental conditions and handling methods.

Transpack technicians study the packaging configuration in 3D , create prototypes on request and simulate the behavior of the load during the handling and transport phases, to ensure maximum protection at every stage. The objective is twofold: to avoid damage and reduce unnecessary logistics costs, thanks to packaging that optimizes volume, weight and materials. This type of approach is especially essential in air and sea shipments, where every centimeter and every kilogram have a direct impact on the final cost.

Transpack: Logistics expertise and HVAC export support

HVAC/R companies operating on international markets need partners capable of combining technical skills, knowledge of regulations and logistics capacity. Transpack represents a structured reality able to offer certified industrial packaging, advanced customs services and integrated logistics oriented towards quality, safety and efficiency.

The uniqueness of its approach lies in its extreme customization: each shipment is a project in itself, studied in the smallest details to reduce risks and enhance the investment. Choosing Transpack means relying on a proven system that accompanies Italian HVAC/R companies on their path to global growth.
