High - Fragile/Moisture Sensitive
Account for increased rainfall and potential flooding in Brazilian ports during the wet season (October-March), adding extra buffer days to schedules. Anticipate congestion and tighter vessel space during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and soy harvest export peak (February-June), reserving slots well in advance. Monitor weather conditions, especially during cyclone risk periods (November-April), to adjust transit plans accordingly. Be prepared for extended dwell times and potential delays during the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5).

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates moisture barriers. 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 desktop office equipment should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a heavy-duty box, 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 stationery and light office equipment, but you must assemble the pallet carefully. Position 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, our team recommends adding cargo insurance. It can cover handling damage 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 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 verify 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.
Office supplies should be packed securely to prevent damage during transit. It's important to use moisture-resistant materials for packaging, as ocean freight can expose goods to humidity. Additionally, ensure that fragile items, such as electronic equipment, are cushioned properly.
The required documentation typically includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any applicable customs declarations. Since both locations are within Brazil, there are no international customs requirements, but local regulations must still be adhered to.
