When shipping from Anagni, Italy to Xiamen, China, expect significant delays due to Mediterranean winter storms (November-March) and Golden Week congestion (September 20-October 15). Secure vessel space and equipment well in advance, ideally 3-4 weeks prior to peak periods. Adjust schedules for potential delays and avoid just-in-time arrivals during these critical windows.

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery Requires Sealed inner protection. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always select enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small desktop office equipment should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark the box as “Fragile” and do not allow stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of stationery and light office equipment, but you must Build the pallet carefully. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and Stabilize the load with edge protectors 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 office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends Purchasing cargo insurance. It can cover Moisture damage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.
Stationery should be stored in clean, climate-moderated areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Keep pallets off the floor on racking or pallets, avoid stacking beyond recommended heights to prevent crushing, and Ensure 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 is important to ensure that items are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, items should be classified properly to comply with regulations and facilitate customs clearance.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export licenses. Customs declarations must also be completed in accordance with both Italian and Chinese regulatory requirements.
