Shipping Office Equipment from Felixstowe to Manaus via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery Requires moisture barriers. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using double-walled boxes, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book 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, Use a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Handle With Care” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.

You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but you must Build 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 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 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 products should be stored in clean, climate-moderated areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Keep 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.

Shipping office supplies from Felixstowe to Manaus requires a commercial invoice, packing list, and specific customs documentation to comply with Brazilian regulations, including a declaration of the value and nature of the goods.

Seasonal considerations include potential weather disruptions during the rainy season in Brazil, which may affect port operations in Manaus, as well as the Atlantic hurricane season, which can impact shipping routes and schedules.
