During the South America soy harvest export peak (January-May, September-December), plan for increased competition for vessel space and longer transit times.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery Requires Sealed inner protection. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using Dry, sturdy 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 Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in protective padding, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. 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. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock the load with Corner boards and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and Use 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.
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 Ensure that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, limit 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 properly packed to prevent damage during transit. Specific attention should be given to fragile items such as stationery equipment, which may require additional cushioning. Additionally, moisture-sensitive products should be protected from humidity during ocean transport.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. It is also necessary to provide customs declarations that comply with Argentine import regulations, which may include product classifications and any applicable tariffs for office supplies.
