Secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance during critical periods such as the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7), as delays are common. Expect extended transit times due to holiday shutdowns and increased demand during the year-end inventory build peak (September-December). Build in additional buffer days to accommodate potential delays from weather disruptions, especially during typhoon season (June-November) and the rainy season (May-October). Communicate closely with local agents to manage pick-up and return schedules effectively.

Shipping moisture-sensitive office materials Requires moisture barriers. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always Choose 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, Use a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in protective padding, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark the box as “Fragile” and Avoid stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but you must Build the pallet carefully. Position heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock the load with edge protectors 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 Stationery, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends Purchasing 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 products should be stored in clean, climate-moderated 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 verify that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, limit storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
Office supplies should be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Items like paper, stationery, and office equipment should be cushioned and protected from moisture. Additionally, care should be taken to ensure that heavier items are loaded correctly to avoid shifting during transport.
There are no specific customs or regulatory requirements for shipping office supplies domestically within China. However, it is essential to ensure that all items comply with local safety standards and regulations applicable to office materials.
