Shipping Office Materials from Aliaga to Newark via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive office materials necessitates protective wrapping. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and placing desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.

Small Office equipment should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark the box as “Delicate Equipment” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.

You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but you must assemble the pallet carefully. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and Stabilize the load with Corner boards and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and Use a top sheet or pallet cover if there is any risk of humidity or light rain during handling.

For small parcel shipments of low-value Stationery, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends adding cargo insurance. It can cover loss and breakage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.

Office products should be stored in clean, climate-moderated areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Maintain pallets off the floor on racking or pallets, avoid stacking beyond recommended heights to prevent crushing, and confirm that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, Avoid storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.

When shipping office supplies, it's essential to ensure that items are packaged securely to prevent damage during transit. Items should be packed in sturdy boxes, and fragile items like equipment should have adequate cushioning. It's also important to consider that office supplies may be subject to temperature and humidity variations during ocean transport, so moisture-resistant packaging can be beneficial.

The required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice detailing the contents and value of the shipment, a packing list, and any necessary export licenses from Turkey. Additionally, import documentation for the United States, including the bill of lading and any relevant customs declarations, must be completed to ensure compliance with U.S. regulations.
