When shipping from Paranagua, Brazil to Shekou, China, account for the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and expect port congestion during the soy (February-June) and fruit export peaks (January-May). Build in extra buffer days to your schedules to mitigate risks from heavy rainfall and terminal delays. During the Western New Year (December 20-January 5) and Golden Week (October 1-7), secure vessel space well in advance to avoid rollovers. Monitor weather conditions and adjust cut-off times accordingly to ensure timely deliveries.

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery Requires Sealed inner protection. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using double-walled boxes, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small desktop office equipment should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Fragile” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of stationery and light office equipment, but You should Build the pallet carefully. Place 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 Purchasing 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.
Stationery should be stored in Dry, temperature-stable areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Keep 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, Avoid storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
Documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary customs declarations specific to office supplies, ensuring compliance with both Brazilian and Chinese customs regulations.
