When shipping from Busan, South Korea to Suape, Brazil, factor in additional buffer days during peak typhoon season (June-November) and the North Pacific winter storms (November-March) to accommodate potential delays. Secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance for critical periods like Chuseok (late September-early October) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December). Expect increased rainfall and flooding in Brazil (October-March), which may disrupt operations. Communicate closely with local agents to navigate these seasonal challenges effectively.

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 “Dry Storage Only”. For export or long-duration transit, evaluate adding moisture absorbers 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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.
The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance specific to automotive parts as mandated by Brazilian customs regulations.
Seasonal considerations include potential monsoon rains affecting loading and unloading operations in Busan and varying sea conditions during the hurricane season in the Atlantic, which may impact shipping routes and schedules.
