When shipping from Manzanillo to Veracruz, be mindful of the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) by scheduling sailings outside peak storm activity and allowing for buffer days for potential delays. During the North American agricultural export peak (August-December), book vessel space at least 3-4 weeks in advance to avoid tight capacity. Additionally, prepare for longer transit times and congestion during the Christmas retail peak (October-December), and coordinate closely with carriers to mitigate delays.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery demands moisture barriers. We 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, build a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, 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 create the pallet carefully. Position heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and Stabilize 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 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. Store 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 should be packed securely to prevent damage during ocean transport. Items should be moisture-resistant and properly labeled to ensure safe handling and easy identification upon arrival.
The shipment requires a bill of lading, commercial invoice, and any necessary customs declarations. It is essential to ensure that all documentation complies with Mexican regulations for intra-country shipping.
