When shipping from Newark to Santos, be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and allow for buffer days to manage potential disruptions. During the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March), anticipate heavier rainfall and localized flooding, necessitating additional transit time. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance for the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) to avoid congestion. Stay updated on weather forecasts and adjust plans accordingly to mitigate risks associated with seasonal factors.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery demands Sealed inner protection. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using double-walled boxes, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always select 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 Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Fragile” and do not allow stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but you must create the pallet carefully. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and secure the load with Corner boards 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 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 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 Ensure that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary certificates such as a certificate of origin or specific import licenses, depending on the nature of the office supplies being shipped.
Yes, shipments must comply with Brazilian customs regulations, which may include specific import duties, taxes, and adherence to Brazilian health and safety standards for office supplies.
