When shipping from Zhongshan, China to Fortaleza, Brazil, expect significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Brazil's Wet Season (October-March).

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a Standard dry container is usually adequate, but exporters should confirm door seals and Add Container desiccants. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, look at additional interior lining on routes with tropical climates.
To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy Toys and games, choose higher burst-strength cartons, manage pallet height, and Place Corner posts. Prominently label pallets of games with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and make sure heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.
Yes, many countries have Safety and labeling rules for children’s toys.
