Shipping Office Products from Kaohsiung to Salvador via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive office materials Requires Sealed inner protection. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using double-walled boxes, and placing desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always select enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.

Small desktop office equipment should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and stuff all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Delicate Equipment” and do not allow stacking heavy cartons on top.

You can palletize mixed loads of stationery and light office equipment, but you must Build the pallet carefully. Place 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 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 Stationery, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends Purchasing cargo insurance. It can cover Moisture damage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.

Stationery 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 Ensure 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.

When shipping office supplies, it is important to ensure that items are well-packaged to prevent damage during transit. Fragile items should be cushioned, and moisture-sensitive products should be protected from humidity. Additionally, the cargo should be stowed securely in the container to avoid shifting during transport.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export and import permits. It is also important to comply with Brazilian customs regulations, which may require specific declarations for office supplies categorized under certain tariff codes.
