Anticipate potential delays due to the Brazil wet season (October-March), particularly during peak rainfall months (November-February), which can lead to flooding and increased yard dwell times. Build in extra buffer days in transit schedules and communicate closely with carriers to manage cut-off times. Additionally, prepare for higher demand and congestion during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and soy export peak (February-June), as these periods often result in tighter vessel space and longer handling times.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates Sealed inner protection. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using rigid cartons, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small Office equipment should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in protective padding, and stuff all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Fragile” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but You should assemble the pallet carefully. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock the load with edge protectors 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 Stationery, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, We recommend adding 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 Dry, temperature-stable areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Maintain 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.
The documentation typically required includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and a bill of lading. Additionally, customs declarations must comply with both Brazilian and U.S. regulations, which may include specific information about the office supplies being shipped.
