When shipping from Surabaya, Indonesia to Navegantes, Brazil, consider the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) by adding buffer days to schedules and enhancing cargo protection. During the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March), expect heavier rainfall and port congestion, necessitating additional buffer days and robust packing. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance during peak export seasons (January-May, September-December) to mitigate congestion risks. Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates, especially during critical periods like the South America Soy Export Peak (February-June) and the South America Fruit Export Peak (January-May).

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, 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 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. 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 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 variety goods. 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, 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.
When shipping mixed consumer goods, it is important to ensure that items are properly packed to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, cargo must be consolidated effectively to optimize space and comply with weight restrictions.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with Brazilian customs regulations, which necessitate detailed documentation such as a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary import permits. It is also important to ensure that the goods meet Brazilian health and safety standards.
