Shipping Auto Parts from Guayaquil to Shenzhen via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive car parts, Use inner sealed pouches around each component, then place them in double-wall boxes with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with strong packing tape and clearly mark cartons “Keep Dry”. For export or long-duration transit, Consider adding humidity control packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You are allowed to ship Tires with boxed car parts, but it is best that they are physically separated and properly secured. Logistics providers commonly recommend palletizing boxed Vehicle components and then stacking or racking Tires so they do not press against or rub cartons. Avoid placing heavy loose car tires on top of fragile or moisture-sensitive auto components, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.

Fluid-filled vehicle parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers May require special handling notes, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Shippers should verify whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under DOT and IATA regulations and Provide the appropriate safety data sheets (SDS), UN numbers, and packing group information if applicable. Even when not regulated as hazardous, clearly mark “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 best shipped with enhanced transit insurance. Carrier default liability is usually 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 Can be processed efficiently.

To reduce damage in mixed vehicle components pallet loads, Place the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and vehicle tires above. Use edge protectors, 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 Clearly label any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers will follow correct handling procedures.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Ecuador, as well as customs declaration forms for entry into China.
