Prepare for potential delays due to the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and build in extra buffer days in your shipping schedules. During peak rainfall months (November-February), increase waterproof coverings and verify draft restrictions for river routes. Be mindful of the South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April) and avoid tight delivery commitments during this period. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) to mitigate congestion and ensure timely deliveries.

For moisture-sensitive mixed cargo, begin by using sturdy, double-wall cartons sized closely to the contents. Line each box with a Plastic liner and seal it before closing the carton. Most shippers recommend 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 single-use items with heavier Other goods, but You must control how they are combined. Place heavier cartons at the bottom of the pallet and lighter boxes with plastic tableware 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 assorted products, select Heavy-duty corrugated cartons 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 containers, 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, travel kits shipped with other General merchandise only require standard commercial documentation, but accuracy is important. You should list each product group separately on the commercial invoice and packing list, indicating quantities and weights for items like plastic tableware. 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 containers and boxes 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 Plastic products. Our team recommends 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.
Mixed Consumer Goods require careful consolidation to ensure proper stowage and weight distribution. It is important to package items securely to prevent damage during ocean transport, and to comply with any specific handling instructions for diverse products.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. Additionally, customs clearance documents must be prepared to comply with Brazilian regulations for the importation of assorted consumer products.
