When shipping from Shanghai, China to Paranagua, Brazil, secure vessel space and equipment well in advance during critical periods such as the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and the Brazil wet season (October-March). Anticipate port congestion and longer transit times due to localized flooding and factory slowdowns. Build in flexible timeframes to accommodate delays and communicate closely with local agents for timely pickups. During peak export seasons (February-June for soy and January-May for fruit), diversify routings to mitigate risks associated with congestion and capacity shortages.

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery demands protective wrapping. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using rigid cartons, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always Choose 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, build a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and stuff all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Handle With Care” and Avoid stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of stationery 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 secure the load with edge protectors and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and apply 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.
Stationery 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, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
