Shipping Office Supplies from Kaohsiung to Cartagena via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive office materials Requires protective wrapping. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using double-walled boxes, and Adding 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 factory packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Fragile” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.

You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but it is important to Build 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 add 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. Keep 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, and bill of lading. Additionally, customs declarations and any necessary permits for office supplies may be needed to comply with Colombian regulations.

During the typhoon season, which generally runs from May to October in the western Pacific, shipping schedules may be affected due to rough seas. It's important to monitor weather conditions that could impact the shipping route.
