Plan for the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative ports during peak activity. Prepare for extended transit times and potential congestion due to the Brazil Wet Season (October-March) and South Atlantic Cyclone Risk (November-April). Arrange vessel space well in advance for the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) and South America fruit and soy export peaks (January-May, February-June). Monitor weather forecasts closely to avoid disruptions during North Atlantic Winter Storms (November-March) and ensure flexible routing options are in place.

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. 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, cover 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 Plastic products on top. Inside each carton, Use inner boxes or dividers so sharp or rigid items do not deform softer plastics. Our logistics team recommends 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 Packaging materials, Separate sharp-edged items so they do not cut into neighboring variety goods. 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, 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 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 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. 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 that items are properly secured and packed to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, mixed cargo may require specific loading and unloading procedures at both ports to accommodate the variety of products being shipped.
Shipping mixed consumer goods from Brazil to Puerto Rico requires compliance with both Brazilian export regulations and Puerto Rican import regulations. This includes obtaining the necessary customs documentation, ensuring that products meet safety and quality standards, and paying any applicable tariffs or taxes.
