Plan for potential delays and increased congestion during the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April). Book vessel space and trucking capacity at least 3-6 weeks in advance during peak export periods for fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy (February-June). Allow for extra buffer days in transit schedules to accommodate weather-related disruptions and terminal congestion. Monitor carriers for schedule changes, especially during high-demand periods like Christmas (October-December) and Black Friday (mid-November to early December).

For moisture-sensitive General merchandise, begin 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. We recommend separating tableware 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 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 Plastic products on top. Inside each carton, add 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 Consolidated goods, select 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 Packaging materials, isolate 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, 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 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, 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. 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.
For shipping Mixed Consumer Goods from Vitoria to Manaus, the required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary customs declarations. Ensure compliance with Brazilian customs regulations for clearance at both ports.
The Port of Vitoria is equipped with modern facilities for handling various types of cargo, including mixed consumer goods, featuring container terminals and efficient loading equipment. The Port of Manaus also has capabilities to accommodate mixed cargo, but congestion can occur due to its strategic location, so planning for potential delays is advisable.
