When shipping from Surabaya, Indonesia to Navegantes, Brazil, account for the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) by adding buffer days to schedules and increasing cargo protection. During the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March), expect heavier rainfall and port congestion, necessitating additional buffer days and robust packing. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance during peak export seasons (January-May, September-December) to mitigate congestion risks. Communicate closely with carriers for real-time updates, especially during critical periods like the South America Soy Export Peak (February-June) and the South America Fruit Export Peak (January-May).

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates Sealed inner protection. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using rigid cartons, and placing 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 pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Delicate Equipment” 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 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 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.
Shipping office supplies from Surabaya to Navegantes requires specific documentation, including a commercial invoice, packing list, and a bill of lading. Additionally, customs declarations must comply with Indonesian export regulations and Brazilian import regulations, including any necessary permits for office materials.
Seasonal considerations for this route include the monsoon season in Indonesia, which typically runs from November to March, potentially affecting shipping schedules. It's also important to consider Brazil's rainy season, which could impact port operations in Navegantes during the same period.
