When shipping from Laem Chabang, Thailand to Salvador, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November) and Brazil's Wet Season (October-March). Build in extra buffer days to schedules to accommodate potential port congestion and weather-related disruptions. Arrange vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance, especially during peak harvest periods (February-September) and major retail peaks (October-December). Monitor weather forecasts and adjust routes as necessary to mitigate risks associated with cyclones and heavy rainfall.

For moisture-sensitive General merchandise, Start by using sturdy, double-wall cartons sized closely to the contents. Line each box with a poly sleeve and seal it before closing the carton. We recommend separating plastic tableware and other fragile miscellaneous items with dividers or bubble wrap, then filling voids with paper or foam so nothing moves. Finally, protect the palletized load with stretch film, including a top sheet, to reduce exposure to humidity and light rain during handling.
Yes, you can ship Plastic goods with heavier Other goods, but you should control how they are combined. Place heavier cartons at the bottom of the pallet and lighter boxes with Plastic products on top. Inside each carton, include inner boxes or dividers so sharp or rigid items do not deform softer plastics. Most carriers recommend limiting stack height and marking “Do Not Crush” when mixed cartons contain fragile plastic tableware or thin packaging materials.
For medium-weight Consolidated goods, Choose export-strength boxes that can handle stacking in trucks or containers. Smaller, well-filled cartons generally perform better than oversized boxes with lots of empty space. For shipments that include Packaging materials, pack separately sharp-edged items so they do not cut into neighboring variety goods. On pallets, add corner protectors and strapping to keep the load square and stable, especially for mixed consumer goods moving through multiple hubs.
In most cases, Airline supplies shipped with other General merchandise only require standard commercial documentation, but accuracy is important. Exporters should list each product group separately on the commercial invoice and packing list, indicating quantities and weights for items like Packaging supplies. Use clear, non-technical descriptions and add handling marks such as “Keep Dry” or “Fragile” where appropriate. If any component of the travel kits (for example, aerosols or batteries) is regulated, verify with your carrier for additional dangerous goods documentation and packing rules.
Store Packaging materials and other Miscellaneous items in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and open dock doors. Keep cartons on pallets or shelving rather than directly on the floor to avoid moisture wicking into boxes, especially for moisture-sensitive single-use items. We recommend maintaining good airflow and using dehumidifiers or desiccant where humidity is high. Rotate stock so older boxes and plastic goods are used first, ensuring they retain enough strength for safe stacking and transport.
When shipping mixed consumer goods, it is essential to ensure proper packaging to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, the cargo should be secured to avoid shifting during ocean transport, and it may require special attention to temperature and humidity control depending on the product mix.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with Brazilian import regulations, which may involve specific documentation such as a commercial invoice, packing list, and any applicable certificates for the goods. Importers must also be aware of tariff classifications and duties that apply to mixed consumer goods.
