When shipping from Suape, Brazil to San Jose, Costa Rica, be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and plan for potential delays. Book vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance, especially during peak periods like the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December). Prepare for longer transit times due to port congestion and weather-related disruptions. Build in buffer days into your schedules to accommodate unexpected delays and ensure timely deliveries.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates Sealed inner protection. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using double-walled boxes, and including 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 Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in protective padding, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Handle With Care” 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. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock the load with Corner boards and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and add 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 Moisture 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. Maintain pallets off the floor on racking or pallets, avoid stacking beyond recommended heights to prevent crushing, and Ensure 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.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Brazil. Additionally, import documentation such as a customs declaration and any specific permits for office supplies may be required by Costa Rican authorities.
