When shipping from Nansha, China to Paranagua, Brazil, account for the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and the Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November), which can cause delays and congestion. Secure vessel space well in advance, especially before the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February). During Brazil's wet season (October-March), allow for extra buffer days due to potential flooding and port disruptions. Monitor cyclone risks in the South Atlantic (November-April) to adjust schedules as needed.
