For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, select inner poly bags with desiccant around each component, then place them in Sturdy cartons with sufficient cushioning.

You Can ship vehicle tires with boxed automotive parts, but They should be physically separated and properly secured. Logistics providers commonly 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 Auto parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers often require dangerous goods documentation, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. You should verify 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 Car parts such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules should be shipped with declared value coverage. Carrier default liability Is often limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized vehicle 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 Automotive pallet loads, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and car tires above. Use Corner boards, shrink wrap and bands 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.
The documentation typically required includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits. Additionally, customs declarations must comply with both U.S. export regulations and Brazilian import regulations.
