When shipping from Callao, Peru to Shanghai, China, anticipate significant challenges during the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December). Include buffer days for potential delays due to storms and port congestion. Book vessel space at least 3-4 weeks in advance during fruit export peaks to avoid tight capacity. Additionally, monitor weather conditions closely and flex schedules to accommodate delays from coastal fog (May-September) and typhoon activity (August-October).

Transporting moisture-sensitive office materials necessitates Sealed inner protection. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using double-walled boxes, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always Choose 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 Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Fragile” and Avoid stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of stationery and light office equipment, but you must assemble the pallet carefully. Place 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 add 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 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. Maintain 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, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Peru. Additionally, import documentation such as a customs declaration and relevant certificates may be needed for entry into China.
Seasonal considerations include potential weather disruptions during the rainy season in Peru, which may affect port operations in Callao. Additionally, peak shipping seasons in China, such as before major holidays, can impact port congestion and customs processing times in Shanghai.
