Shipping Vehicle Components from Da Nang to Atlanta via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive automotive parts, choose inner Moisture-barrier bags around each component, then place them in Sturdy cartons 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 humidity control packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You may ship car tires with boxed Auto parts, but They should 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 car tires on top of fragile or moisture-sensitive auto components, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.

You 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 mark “Contains Fluids – Keep Upright” on packaging and shipping documents to guide carriers.
