Shipping Stationery from Itapoa to Manaus via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive office materials Requires moisture barriers. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using rigid cartons, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always Choose enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.

Small Office equipment should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Handle With Care” and Avoid stacking heavy cartons on top.

You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but you must Build the pallet carefully. Position 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, our team recommends Purchasing cargo insurance. It can cover handling damage 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 clean, climate-moderated areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Keep pallets off the floor on racking or pallets, avoid stacking beyond recommended heights to prevent crushing, and verify 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.

Office supplies must be packaged securely to prevent damage during ocean transit. Water-resistant packaging is recommended to protect against humidity and potential water exposure. Proper labeling is essential to ensure correct handling and identification during the shipping process.

The necessary documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant import permits. Customs declarations must also be completed, as office supplies are subject to regulatory requirements within Brazil. Proper documentation ensures compliance with local regulations and facilitates smooth customs clearance.
