Shipping Stationery from Incheon to Hong Kong via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive office materials necessitates protective wrapping. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using rigid cartons, and placing desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.

Small office devices 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 pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Delicate Equipment” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.

You can palletize mixed loads of office materials 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 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, 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.

Office materials 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.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary export permits from South Korea, as well as customs declaration forms for import into Hong Kong.

Office supplies should be packaged securely to prevent damage during transit. Items such as paper products should be kept dry, and electronic office equipment may require additional cushioning to avoid impacts.
