Shipping Office Products from Foshan to Salvador via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery Requires moisture barriers. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using rigid cartons, and including 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 Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in protective padding, and stuff all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Handle With Care” and Avoid stacking heavy cartons on top.

You can palletize mixed loads of stationery and light office equipment, but You should Build the pallet carefully. Position heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock 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 office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, We recommend 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.

Stationery should be stored in Dry, temperature-stable 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, 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 any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with Brazilian regulations on imported goods.
