When shipping from Guayaquil to Savannah, anticipate the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) by allowing for buffer days to accommodate potential delays. During peak fruit export periods (January-May, September-December), book vessel space well in advance to avoid congestion. Additionally, account for extended transit times due to North America Winter Storms (December-March) and consider flexible delivery windows to mitigate disruptions. Lastly, stay updated on weather conditions and adjust routes as necessary to ensure timely deliveries.

Transporting moisture-sensitive office materials necessitates protective wrapping. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, 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 reinforced carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and stuff 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. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and secure the load with edge protectors 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, our team recommends adding cargo insurance. It can cover loss and breakage 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 confirm 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.
The necessary documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any required import/export permits. Additionally, compliance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations must be ensured.
