When shipping from Incheon, South Korea to Shenzhen, China, prepare for the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative routing options. Prepare for potential delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Golden Week holiday disruptions (September 20-October 10). Arrange vessel space well in advance, especially during peak periods (July-October), to mitigate congestion and ensure timely deliveries. Collaborate closely with local agents for updated schedules and cut-off times to navigate these seasonal challenges effectively.

Moving moisture-sensitive office materials necessitates protective wrapping. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and placing desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always select 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. Mark the box as “Delicate Equipment” and do not allow 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 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 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.
The required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary customs declarations for both South Korea and China. Specific regulatory requirements may vary based on the nature of the office supplies being shipped.
Yes, shipping during peak seasons, such as back-to-school or holiday periods, may result in increased demand for cargo space and potential delays at ports. Additionally, weather conditions, such as typhoon season in the region, can impact shipping schedules and port operations.
