When shipping from Busan to Xiamen, anticipate the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative routing options. Prepare for potential delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) due to heavy rainfall and port congestion; use waterproof coverings for cargo. Additionally, arrange vessel space well in advance for the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) to avoid disruptions. Communicate with local agents to confirm cut-off times, especially around public holidays (late September-early October).

Transporting moisture-sensitive office materials necessitates moisture barriers. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using rigid cartons, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book 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, create a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Fragile” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of stationery and light office equipment, but you must assemble the pallet carefully. Position 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 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 Stationery, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends adding 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.
Stationery 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 verify 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.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and a bill of lading. Additionally, customs declarations must comply with both South Korean and Chinese regulations, which may require specific permits for the import of office supplies.
Seasonal weather patterns, such as typhoons in late summer and early autumn, may affect ocean freight routes and schedules. It is advisable to monitor weather forecasts and potential disruptions during these periods when planning shipments.
