When shipping from Chittagong, Bangladesh to Altamira, Mexico, prepare for significant delays due to the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December) and the southwest monsoon (June-September). Build in additional buffer days for potential port closures and slow steaming, and arrange flexible ETAs/ETDs in your contracts. During the northeast monsoon (November-March), account for rough seas that may extend transit times. Additionally, plan for reduced operations during the Eid al Fitr (March-June) and Eid al Adha (May-July) holidays, necessitating early scheduling and coordination with local agents.

Moving moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates Sealed inner protection. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using double-walled boxes, and placing desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always Choose enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small office devices should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in protective padding, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Delicate Equipment” and Avoid stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but You should assemble the pallet carefully. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock 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 office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, We recommend 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.
Office materials should be stored in Dry, temperature-stable 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, limit 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 possibly a certificate of origin for customs clearance in Mexico.
