Shipping Vehicle Tires from Durban to Ningbo via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive automotive parts, select inner sealed pouches around each component, then place them in Sturdy cartons with sufficient cushioning.

Logistics providers commonly recommend palletizing boxed car parts and then stacking or racking car tires so they do not press against or rub cartons.
