Shipping Stationery from Port Said to Puerto Limon via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates moisture barriers. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always Choose enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.

Small office devices should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark the box as “Handle With Care” and Avoid stacking heavy cartons on top.

You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but You should assemble the pallet carefully. Position 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 Use 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, We recommend 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.

Office materials 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 verify 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.

Documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Egypt, as well as import permits and customs declarations required by Costa Rican authorities.

Office supplies should be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, moisture-resistant packaging is recommended due to potential humidity during ocean transport, especially in tropical climates like Costa Rica.
