When shipping from Genoa, Italy to Bogota, Colombia, anticipate significant delays due to Mediterranean winter storms (November-March); build in additional buffer days for transit and secure flexible berthing windows. During the South America soy export peak (January-May, September-December), expect tight vessel space and longer handling times; prioritize early bookings and avoid just-in-time arrivals. Additionally, monitor carriers for potential disruptions during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday peak (mid-November to early December) to ensure timely deliveries.

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates Sealed inner protection. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using Dry, sturdy 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 OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. 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 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 Use 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 certificates of origin or conformity to meet Colombian regulations for office supplies.
Office supplies should be packaged securely to prevent damage during transit. Considerations include using moisture-resistant materials and ensuring that items are adequately cushioned to withstand the conditions of ocean transport.
