When shipping from Aliaga, Turkey to Shanghai, China, expect significant delays due to Mediterranean winter storms (November-March) and Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November). Build in additional buffer days to accommodate weather-related slowdowns and secure vessel space well in advance. During the Golden Week (late January to mid-February), expect terminal congestion and adjust schedules accordingly. Monitor forecasts closely to mitigate disruptions throughout the year.

For moisture-sensitive car parts, Use inner poly bags with desiccant around each component, then place them in double-wall boxes with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with Water-resistant tape and clearly mark cartons “Keep Dry”. For export or long-duration transit, assess adding humidity control packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.
You are allowed to ship Tires with boxed automotive parts, but it is best that they are physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed Vehicle components and then stacking or racking vehicle tires so they do not press against or rub cartons. Avoid placing heavy loose car tires on top of fragile or moisture-sensitive Automotive parts, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.
Fluid-filled vehicle parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers May require dangerous goods documentation, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Shippers should Check whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under DOT and IATA regulations and prepare the appropriate safety data sheets (SDS), UN numbers, and packing group information if applicable. Even when not regulated as hazardous, clearly mark “Contains Fluids – Keep Upright” on packaging and shipping documents to guide carriers.
High-value vehicle components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules Are best shipped with declared value coverage. Carrier default liability is usually limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized Automotive parts. We recommend insuring based on replacement value, documenting serial numbers and condition at pickup, and retaining invoices and packing lists so any claim for loss, impact damage, or moisture-related failure will be processed efficiently.
To reduce damage in mixed vehicle components pallet loads, Place the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and car tires above. Use edge protectors, Stretch wrap plus strapping to stabilize the load and prevent shifting. Keep moisture-sensitive Car parts toward the center of the pallet, away from potential leaks or condensation on trailer walls, and visibly tag any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers will follow correct handling procedures.
When shipping auto parts, it is important to ensure that the parts are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, special care should be taken to comply with any specific handling requirements for sensitive automotive components, such as electronic parts or those requiring temperature control.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with both Turkish export regulations and Chinese import regulations. This may involve obtaining necessary export permits from Turkey and ensuring all auto parts meet China's safety and quality standards, including proper documentation for customs clearance.
