When shipping from Rio Grande, Brazil to Teoloyucan, Mexico, account for the Brazilian wet season (October-March), which can cause heavy rainfall and extended transit times. Include buffer days for potential delays, especially during peak rains (November-February) and the South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April). Secure vessel space well in advance during the holiday peaks (December-January) to avoid congestion and ensure flexible routing options. Stay updated on weather conditions and revise schedules accordingly to mitigate disruptions from storms and port closures.

When transporting mixed loads of building products such as lamps, hand tools, and bulk Hardware, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Load heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and apply corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Clearly label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers Can handle them appropriately.
For light fixtures and lighting components, pack in reinforced boxes with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses do not contact each other. Our team recommends individually wrapping each item in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. Prominently mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy building supplies on the same pallet.
Moisture-sensitive building products such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical LED lights must be protected with poly wrap and, where feasible, paired with desiccant packs. Book enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and minimize long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, evaluate container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.
High-value power tools and branded fasteners usually require enhanced cargo coverage, especially when combined with fragile light fixtures. Our specialists recommend obtaining coverage for shipments at full replacement value and retaining serial numbers or SKU lists for premium hand tools. This documentation strengthens claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.
Most standard electrical LED lights ship as general building products, but it is important to accurately declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation. If corded tools with lithium batteries are included, you may trigger dangerous goods regulations, requiring UN-compliant labels, packing instructions, and sometimes carrier pre-approval. Coordinate with your carrier or freight forwarder in advance to confirm any restrictions for combined loads of electrical LED lights and powered power tools.
When shipping Building & Construction Materials via ocean freight, it is important to ensure that the materials are properly packaged to withstand moisture and potential damage during transit. Heavy items should be securely loaded to prevent shifting and damage, and any materials sensitive to humidity should be adequately protected.
Shipments of Building & Construction Materials from Brazil to Mexico must comply with both countries' customs regulations, including proper documentation such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and any necessary certificates of origin. It is essential to ensure compliance with Mexican import regulations, which may include specific standards for construction materials.
