Shipping Vehicle Parts from Da Nang to San Jose via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, select inner Moisture-barrier bags around each component, then place them in Sturdy cartons with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with filament tape and clearly mark cartons “Protect from Moisture”. For export or long-duration transit, evaluate adding Desiccant packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You Can ship vehicle tires with boxed Auto parts, but They should be physically separated and properly secured. Most carriers recommend palletizing boxed auto components and then stacking or racking car tires so they do not press against or rub cartons. Avoid placing heavy loose 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 often require Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. You should review whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under IMDG and IATA regulations and include the appropriate safety data sheets (SDS), UN numbers, and packing group information if applicable. Even when not regulated as hazardous, clearly Indicate “Contains Fluids – Keep Upright” on packaging and shipping documents to guide carriers.

High-value Car parts such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules should be shipped with Full-value cargo insurance. Carrier default liability Is often limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized auto parts. Most brokers 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, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and Tires above. Use Corner boards, banding and film wrap to stabilize the load and prevent shifting. Keep moisture-sensitive auto components 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 follow correct handling procedures.
