When shipping from Shanghai, China to Vitoria, Brazil, book vessel space and equipment well in advance, especially during peak periods like the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December). Anticipate port congestion and longer transit times due to seasonal factors such as typhoons (June-November) and Brazil's wet season (October-March).

Transporting moisture-sensitive office materials demands protective wrapping. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using Dry, sturdy cartons, 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 reinforced carton, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and stuff all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark 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. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and Stabilize 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 office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends 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 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 confirm 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.
