When shipping from Tianjin, China to Salvador, Brazil, expect significant delays due to the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and the Brazilian wet season (October-March). Build in extra buffer days for port operations and secure waterproof coverings for cargo during peak rainfall (November-February). Consider potential congestion during the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and the Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February), ensuring you book vessel space well in advance.

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery Requires protective wrapping. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using rigid cartons, and placing desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small desktop office equipment should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and stuff all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Delicate Equipment” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of stationery and light office equipment, but You should 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 edge protectors 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 office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, We recommend 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.
Stationery 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 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.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary import permits or certificates specific to office supplies as mandated by Brazilian customs regulations.
