Prepare for potential delays and increased congestion during the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April). Book vessel space and trucking capacity at least 3-6 weeks in advance during peak export periods for fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy (February-June). Allow for extra buffer days in transit schedules to accommodate weather-related disruptions and terminal congestion. Monitor carriers for schedule changes, especially during high-demand periods like Christmas (October-December) and Black Friday (mid-November to early December).

Moving moisture-sensitive office materials demands 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 book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small office devices should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, build 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 prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but you must create 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 office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends 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 materials should be stored in clean, climate-moderated areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Store 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 via ocean freight, it is important to ensure that items are properly packaged to prevent damage from moisture and saltwater exposure. Additionally, lightweight and bulky items should be secured to avoid movement during transit.
