When shipping from Suape, Brazil to Hong Kong, China, be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and account for potential delays due to heavy rainfall during Brazil's wet season (October-March). Secure vessel space well in advance, especially during peak periods like the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and the year-end inventory build peak (September-December). Assess alternative routing options and allow for buffer days to mitigate risks associated with congestion and weather disruptions throughout the year.

Shipping moisture-sensitive office materials Requires protective wrapping. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using rigid 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 reinforced carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently 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. Load 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 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, our team recommends Purchasing 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.
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 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.
Documentation typically required includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any specific customs declarations related to office supplies. Compliance with both Brazilian export regulations and Chinese import regulations is essential.
Seasonal weather patterns, such as the rainy season in Brazil or typhoon season in Hong Kong, can affect shipping conditions. It's important to monitor these patterns as they may influence port operations and handling of office supplies.
