When shipping from Port Said, Egypt to Shekou, China, anticipate extended transit times due to Suez Canal congestion, especially during peak periods (January-March, September-November). Build in buffer days for potential delays caused by Mediterranean winter storms (November-March) and book vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (September 20-October 7). Additionally, account for reduced operations during Ramadan and Eid al Fitr (late March-late April, March-June) by adjusting schedules and confirming cut-off times early.

For moisture-sensitive General merchandise, Start by using sturdy, double-wall cartons sized closely to the contents. Line each box with a moisture-barrier bag and seal it before closing the carton. Our team suggests separating 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 Plastic goods with heavier Other goods, but you need to 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, add 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 Consolidated goods, Choose double-wall 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, isolate sharp-edged items so they do not cut into neighboring Miscellaneous items. On pallets, Use 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. Shippers 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, check 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 disposables. 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 important to ensure proper packaging to withstand ocean conditions and prevent damage during transit. Additionally, items should be consolidated efficiently to optimize space and reduce movement within the container, which could lead to damage.
Required documentation typically includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary certificates of origin or health certifications, depending on the specific consumer goods being shipped. Compliance with both Egyptian export regulations and Chinese import regulations is essential for smooth customs clearance.
