When shipping from Itapoa, Brazil to Hong Kong, plan for the Brazilian wet season (October-March), which can cause heavy rainfall. During peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June), anticipate tight vessel space and longer transit times. Additionally, allow for extra buffer days during the Western New Year (December 20-January 5) and Lunar New Year (late January-mid February) periods to mitigate potential delays. Lastly, monitor weather conditions closely, especially during the South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April) and typhoon season (June-November).

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery demands protective wrapping. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using rigid 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 equipment should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, build a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and stuff all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Delicate Equipment” and do not allow stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but You should create the pallet carefully. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and Stabilize 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 Stationery, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, We recommend Purchasing 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 products should be stored in Dry, temperature-stable areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Store 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, Avoid storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
