When shipping from Busan, South Korea to Altamira, Mexico, be mindful of the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative routing options. During peak winter storm activity (November-March), plan for extended transit times and increased congestion. Additionally, plan around critical delivery deadlines during major holidays such as Chuseok and Lunar New Year (late September to mid-February) to mitigate delays. Confirm that all cargo is well-secured and that vessels have updated storm-avoidance protocols throughout these periods.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery demands protective wrapping. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and placing desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always select 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, build a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark the box as “Delicate Equipment” and do not allow stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but you must create the pallet carefully. Load 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 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. Store 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, 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, with moisture-resistant packaging recommended due to potential humidity exposure at sea. It is essential to use appropriate containers that can withstand stacking and shifting during transport.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance. It is important to ensure that all paperwork accurately describes the office supplies to facilitate smooth customs clearance in Mexico.
