When shipping from Yokohama, Japan to Montevideo, Uruguay, anticipate significant delays during the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and typhoon season (June-November). Include additional buffer days for port operations and confirm vessel space well in advance, especially around Japan's Golden Week (April 20-May 10) and Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February). Monitor weather conditions closely during the South Atlantic cyclone risk period (November-April) to adjust routing as necessary.

Shipping moisture-sensitive office materials necessitates Sealed inner protection. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using rigid cartons, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always select enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small Office equipment should ideally be shipped in the factory packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Handle With Care” and do not allow stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but it is important to assemble 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 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, most logistics experts recommend adding 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 cool, dry 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 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 includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates for customs clearance in both Japan and Uruguay.
Yes, office supplies should be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit, and items should be properly labeled to comply with international shipping regulations.
