When shipping from Paranagua, Brazil to Dallas-Fort Worth, United States, account for the Brazilian wet season (October-March), which may cause heavier rainfall and port congestion. Add buffer days to your schedules, especially during peak soy (February-June) and fruit export seasons (January-May), when congestion increases. Additionally, monitor potential disruptions from South Atlantic cyclones (November-April) and North American winter storms (December-March). To mitigate risks, secure vessel space and inland transport at least 3-4 weeks in advance, and coordinate closely with carriers for updated schedules.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery demands protective wrapping. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using double-walled boxes, and placing 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, build a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Delicate Equipment” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but You should create the pallet carefully. Load 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 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, We recommend adding cargo insurance. It can cover loss and breakage 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. Store pallets off the floor on racking or pallets, avoid stacking beyond recommended heights to prevent crushing, and confirm 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 transit. Items like stationery and office materials should be placed in moisture-resistant packaging to avoid deterioration due to humidity. Additionally, it's important to ensure that heavier office equipment is properly secured to prevent shifting during transport.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and a bill of lading.
