When shipping from Vitoria, Brazil to Yantian, China, account for the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and increase buffer days due to potential flooding and congestion. During the South Atlantic cyclone risk period (November-April), allow for extra time for possible diversions. Additionally, book vessel space well in advance during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) to avoid tight capacity. Lastly, stay updated on delays around the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5) and the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to ensure timely deliveries.

When Shipping mixed loads of building products such as light fixtures, power tools, and bulk fasteners, properly 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 add 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 will handle them appropriately.
For Lighting and lighting components, choose heavy-duty cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. DNA 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 hardware on the same pallet.
Moisture-sensitive Construction materials such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical LED lights need to be covered with moisture-barrier film and, where feasible, paired with desiccant packs. Select enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and minimize long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, look at container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.
High-value Tools and branded fasteners typically warrant additional freight insurance, especially when combined with fragile LED lights. DNA recommends obtaining coverage for shipments at full replacement value and maintaining serial numbers or SKU lists for premium hand tools. This documentation improves claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.
Most standard electrical Lighting ship as general building products, but you must properly declare them with the correct HS codes and electrical specifications on your documentation. If battery-powered tools with lithium batteries are included, DG regulations may be involved, requiring UN-compliant labels, packing instructions, and sometimes carrier pre-approval. Check with your carrier or freight forwarder in advance to confirm any restrictions for combined loads of electrical LED lights and powered power tools.
Building materials must be securely packaged to withstand ocean freight conditions. Considerations include ensuring that materials are moisture-resistant, properly labeled for handling, and compliant with international shipping regulations to prevent damage during transit.
Shipments of building and construction materials require compliance with both Brazilian export regulations and Chinese import regulations, including necessary documentation such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin. Specific materials may also need to meet China's quality standards and safety regulations.
