Shipping Vehicle Parts from Anagni to Memphis via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, choose inner Moisture-barrier bags around each component, then place them in reinforced packaging with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with Water-resistant tape and clearly mark cartons “Dry Storage Only”. For export or long-duration transit, evaluate adding moisture absorbers inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You Can ship car tires with boxed Auto parts, but they must be physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed car parts and then stacking or racking car tires so they do not press against or rub cartons. Avoid placing heavy loose vehicle tires on top of fragile or moisture-sensitive vehicle parts, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.

Fluid-filled Auto parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers can require Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Exporters should Check whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under relevant transport regulations and include the appropriate safety data sheets (SDS), UN numbers, and packing group information if applicable. Even when not regulated as hazardous, clearly note “Contains Fluids – Keep Upright” on packaging and shipping documents to guide carriers.

High-value Car parts such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules are typically shipped with Full-value cargo insurance. Carrier default liability tends to be limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized Automotive parts. Freight experts 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 is processed efficiently.

To reduce damage in mixed Automotive pallet loads, arrange the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and Tires above. Use angle boards, Stretch wrap plus strapping to stabilize the load and prevent shifting. Keep moisture-sensitive vehicle parts toward the center of the pallet, away from potential leaks or condensation on trailer walls, and prominently mark any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers can respect correct handling procedures.
