When shipping from Rio Grande, Brazil to Shanghai, China, consider the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and the South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April) by adding extra buffer days to your schedules. Book vessel space well in advance, especially before the Western New Year (December 20-January 5) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion. Prepare for extended transit times due to weather-related disruptions and communicate with carriers for updated cut-off times during peak periods.

Transporting moisture-sensitive office materials demands moisture barriers. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using double-walled boxes, and including 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 foam wrap, and stuff all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Handle With Care” 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 secure the load with edge protectors 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 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, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
