Anticipate increased congestion and longer transit times during Brazil's wet season (October-March) and the South Atlantic cyclone risk period (November-April); build in extra buffer days in your schedules. Lock in vessel space and inland transport capacity well in advance during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June) to avoid rollovers. Monitor carriers for updated ETAs and adjust cut-off times, especially during the holiday peaks (November-December) and Western New Year period (December-January) to mitigate delays.

Moving temperature-sensitive Pharma products necessitates Validated insulated packaging, correct refrigerants, and unbroken temperature monitoring. Select an express service where possible, pre-cool gel packs, and include a data logger in the carton to verify that medical drugs stayed within their labeled temperature range.
Fragile glass vials of pharma products Should be packed in cell dividers with Top and bottom cushioning. Position trays inside a double-walled box and block and brace with void-fill so nothing moves. For moisture-sensitive medical drugs, pair this with moisture-barrier inner bags and desiccants.
International shipments of pharma products typically Require a detailed commercial invoice, packing list, and any authorizations required by the importing country. Many destinations also require Certificates of Analysis, proof of GDP-compliant handling, and clear temperature instructions for cold-chain medicines. Double-check requirements with your customs broker before shipping.
For moisture-sensitive pharma products, Use moisture-proof inner liners plus desiccant sachets inside the packaging. Seal cartons tightly, avoid damaged boxes, and book transport options that reduce exposure to rain and high humidity, such as covered docks and climate-controlled linehaul for medical drugs.
High-value medicines Benefit from tailored cargo insurance that covers temperature excursions, breakage, and theft. Work with an insurer familiar with pharmaceutical goods, state the full replacement value, and retain temperature and handling records so claims can be processed efficiently if something goes wrong.
Pharmaceuticals must be kept within specified temperature ranges during transit to maintain efficacy. Packaging should include temperature-controlled solutions, and handling procedures must comply with IATA regulations for dangerous goods if applicable.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and any necessary health certificates or import permits specific to pharmaceuticals as mandated by Dutch regulations.
