When shipping from Suape to Navegantes, be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative ports. During Brazil's Wet Season (October-March), consider heavy rainfall and potential flooding, necessitating flexible schedules. Additionally, monitor congestion during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and the soy harvest export peak (February-June), which may require early bookings and additional transit time. Lastly, consider reduced visibility during the seasonal coastal fog period (May-September) to avoid delays.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates protective wrapping. 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, create a reinforced carton, 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 assemble the pallet carefully. Load 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 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.
Office products should be stored in clean, climate-moderated areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Maintain 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, limit storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
Office supplies should be packed securely to prevent damage during ocean transport, with attention to moisture protection, as humidity can affect paper products and electronics. Additionally, items like staplers and scissors should be packed to avoid injury during handling.
The shipment requires a commercial invoice, packing list, and may need a specific declaration of conformity for certain office equipment. Customs documentation must comply with Brazilian regulations, ensuring proper classification of goods for efficient processing at both ports.
