Shipping Car Tires from Genoa to Altamira via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive automotive parts, Use inner poly bags with desiccant around each component, then place them in reinforced packaging with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with Water-resistant 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 may ship Tires with boxed automotive parts, but they must be physically separated and properly secured. We 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 Automotive parts, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.

Fluid-filled automotive parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers May require dangerous goods documentation, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Exporters should Check 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 auto components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules Are best shipped with declared value coverage. Carrier default liability tends to be limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized Automotive 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 auto parts pallet loads, Place the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and car tires above. Use angle boards, Stretch wrap plus strapping 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.

Required documentation for this route typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance. Additionally, customs declarations must be completed to comply with regulations in both Italy and Mexico.

Seasonal considerations may include variations in shipping schedules due to weather patterns, particularly during the hurricane season in the Atlantic, which can affect ocean freight routes and port operations. Additionally, increased demand for auto parts during peak automotive manufacturing seasons may impact availability and logistics.
