When shipping from Foshan, China to Itapoa, Brazil, secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance, especially during peak periods like the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December). Expect port congestion and longer transit times due to heavy rainfall in Brazil's wet season (October-March) and potential cyclones (November-April). Allow for extra buffer days in your schedules to accommodate these disruptions and communicate closely with local agents to manage logistics effectively.
