When shipping from Nansha, China to Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico, prepare for the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and the Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November). Include extra buffer days for potential delays due to heavy rainfall and typhoons, especially during peak periods (June-September).

For moisture-sensitive mixed cargo, first using sturdy, double-wall cartons sized closely to the contents. Line each box with a poly sleeve and seal it before closing the carton. Our team suggests separating plastic tableware and other fragile miscellaneous items with dividers or bubble wrap, then filling voids with paper or foam so nothing moves. Finally, Wrap the palletized load with stretch film, including a top sheet, to reduce exposure to humidity and light rain during handling.
Yes, you can ship single-use items with heavier general merchandise, but you should control how they are combined. Place heavier cartons at the bottom of the pallet and lighter boxes with travel kits on top. Inside each carton, include inner boxes or dividers so sharp or rigid items do not deform softer plastics. We recommend limiting stack height and marking “Do Not Crush” when mixed cartons contain fragile plastic tableware or thin packaging materials.
For medium-weight assorted products, use 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 cartons and boxes, pack separately sharp-edged items so they do not cut into neighboring Miscellaneous items. 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, travel kits shipped with other assorted consumer products 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 disposables. 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 containers and boxes and other variety goods 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. Most warehouses 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. Consolidation of goods may require careful stowage in containers to maximize space and minimize movement. Additionally, items should be clearly labeled and categorized to facilitate customs clearance and inspections.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and customs declaration. It is crucial to comply with both Chinese export regulations and Mexican import regulations, ensuring that all goods are accurately described and valued to avoid delays at customs.
