When shipping from Jiangmen, China to Santos, Brazil, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March). Include extra buffer days for port operations and secure waterproof coverings for cargo during peak rainfall (June-September).

Monitor weather forecasts and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate disruptions throughout these critical periods.

Moving moisture-sensitive office materials demands protective wrapping. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using rigid cartons, and Adding 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 factory packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, build a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Fragile” and do not allow stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but it is important to create the pallet carefully. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and secure the load with Corner boards 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, most logistics experts 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 materials should be stored in cool, dry 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, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
