When shipping from Bangkok to Santos, account for the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) and the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March). Build in extra buffer days to schedules to mitigate potential delays from heavy rainfall and port congestion. Confirm vessel space well in advance during peak export periods (January-May, September-December) to avoid tight transshipment connections. Additionally, stay updated on weather forecasts for the South Atlantic Cyclone Risk (November-April) and adjust routing as necessary to ensure schedule reliability.

Moving moisture-sensitive Stationery demands moisture barriers. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using rigid cartons, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small office devices should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, build a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Handle With Care” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but you must create the pallet carefully. Position heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and secure the load with Corner boards and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and apply 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 handling damage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.
Office materials should be stored in clean, climate-moderated areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Store pallets off the floor on racking or pallets, avoid stacking beyond recommended heights to prevent crushing, and verify that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
Office supplies should be packed securely to prevent damage during transit, especially considering the long ocean route of 16,352 km. It is advisable to use moisture-resistant packaging to protect items from humidity and potential water exposure during shipping.
When shipping office supplies from Bangkok to Santos, it is essential to comply with Brazilian customs regulations, which may require an import declaration, invoices detailing the contents and value, and adherence to product standards specific to office materials. Additionally, the importer must ensure that all necessary documentation is in order to facilitate smooth customs clearance.
