When shipping from Dalian, China to Buenos Aires, Argentina, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Add buffer days for potential disruptions and secure vessel space well in advance, especially around the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February).

For moisture-sensitive car parts, choose inner Moisture-barrier bags 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, evaluate adding moisture absorbers inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.
You are allowed to ship car tires with boxed Auto parts, but it is best that they are physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed Vehicle components 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 vehicle parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers can require Hazardous materials declarations, 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 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 typically shipped with Full-value cargo insurance. 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 is processed efficiently.
To reduce damage in mixed vehicle components pallet loads, arrange the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and 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 prominently mark any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers can respect correct handling procedures.
When shipping auto parts, it is essential to ensure proper packaging to withstand ocean conditions, including moisture and movement. Additionally, specific parts may require temperature control or special handling to avoid damage during transit.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance specific to automotive parts. It is crucial to ensure all documents comply with both Chinese export and Argentine import regulations.
