Book vessel space well in advance during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June) to avoid congestion.

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery demands moisture barriers. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using rigid cartons, 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, build a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and stuff all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark 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 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 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 office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends adding 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.
Stationery 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.
The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary customs declarations. Additionally, compliance with both Brazilian export regulations and Chinese import regulations must be ensured.
Seasonal weather patterns, such as increased rainfall or storms during Brazil's summer months, may impact ocean freight operations. It is advisable to monitor weather forecasts and port conditions during these times to avoid potential delays.
