Shipping Office Equipment from Wuhan to Puerto Limon via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery Requires Sealed inner protection. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book 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, Use a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark the box as “Handle With Care” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.

You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but you must Build the pallet carefully. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and secure the load with Corner boards and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and Use 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 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 clean, climate-moderated 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, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.

The required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from China. Additionally, import documentation such as a customs declaration and potential certificates of origin may be required for Costa Rica.

Office supplies should be packed securely to prevent damage during transit. It is advisable to use moisture-resistant packaging to protect against humidity during ocean transport. Additionally, categorizing items properly can aid in customs clearance and reduce handling issues at ports.

No, we use in-house customs brokerage with automation to reduce errors and accelerate clearance, rather than outsourcing to third-party brokers with outdated, manual documentation processes.

The “One Test Run Challenge” is an invitation to move a single shipment with DNA so we can demonstrate our visibility, reliability, and partnership, showing how our SAMMIE platform and proactive team perform in a real-world test.

Yes, you can. You don’t have to move your whole operation; you can give us one shipment in any mode or lane as a “test run,” and we’ll handle it end-to-end with precision, transparency, and care.
