When shipping from Yantian, China to Santos, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to seasonal factors. During the East Asia rainy season (May-October), build in buffer days for port operations and secure flexible routing options due to potential flooding (June-September). In Brazil, consider heavy rainfall and localized flooding during the wet season (October-March), which may require additional buffer days and waterproof coverings. Additionally, expect congestion during peak export periods, such as the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and soy export peak (February-June), necessitating early bookings and flexible schedules.
