When planning shipments from Navegantes, Brazil to Buenaventura, Colombia, consider the Brazilian wet season (October-March), which may cause heavier rainfall and delays. During peak fruit and soy export seasons (January-May, February-June), anticipate tight vessel space and increased congestion at terminals, necessitating early bookings and flexible transit plans. Additionally, monitor for potential cyclones in the South Atlantic (November-April) and allow for buffer days in schedules to accommodate weather-related disruptions.

For moisture-sensitive assorted consumer products, 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. We recommend separating Kitchen accessories 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 disposables 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 Plastic products on top. Inside each carton, Use 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 mixed cargo, 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 Packaging materials, Separate sharp-edged items so they do not cut into neighboring Miscellaneous items. On pallets, apply corner protectors and strapping to keep the load square and stable, especially for mixed consumer goods moving through multiple hubs.
In most cases, in-flight products 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 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, Consult your carrier for additional dangerous goods documentation and packing rules.
Store packaging supplies 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. 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.
The documentation required includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant certificates of origin or compliance. Additionally, shippers must comply with customs regulations specific to both Brazil and Colombia, which may include import permits and customs declarations.
Seasonal considerations include the potential for increased rainfall and rough seas during the rainy season, which can affect shipping conditions. It is important to monitor weather patterns and sea conditions, as they may impact the handling and stability of mixed cargo during transit.
