When shipping from Taipei, Taiwan to Valparaiso, Chile, anticipate significant delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in extra buffer days for transit and delivery commitments, especially during peak rainfall (June-September) and typhoon months (August-October). Secure vessel space and equipment well in advance, particularly before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Christmas retail peak (October-December), as congestion are common during these periods. Monitor weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate disruptions.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery Requires Sealed inner protection. We recommend 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 Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in Bubble 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 should Build the pallet carefully. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and Stabilize 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, We recommend Purchasing 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 Dry, temperature-stable 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 Ensure 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.
When shipping office supplies, it is important to ensure that items are properly packaged to prevent damage during transit. Given the long ocean route of 18,449 km, it is advisable to use moisture-resistant materials for packaging and to secure items to avoid shifting. Additionally, consider the nature of the products, as some stationery items may be sensitive to temperature and humidity changes.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. Additionally, an export license may be necessary for certain office supplies, and it is important to comply with Chilean import regulations, which may require a certificate of origin and compliance with local standards for office products.
