Expect longer transit times and potential disruptions during typhoon season (June-November) and the Southern Ocean storm season (May-September). Always build in additional buffer days to your schedules.

You are allowed to ship vehicle tires with boxed Auto parts, but They should be physically separated and properly secured. Most carriers recommend palletizing boxed auto components and then stacking or racking vehicle 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 vehicle parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers often require Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. You should review whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under IMDG and IATA regulations and prepare 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 vehicle components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules should be shipped with Full-value cargo insurance.

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 will be processed efficiently.
To reduce damage in mixed vehicle components pallet loads, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and Tires above. Use Corner boards, banding and film wrap 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 visibly tag any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers Can follow correct handling procedures.
Auto parts should be properly packaged to prevent damage during transit. It is important to use materials that can withstand ocean conditions, such as moisture and temperature fluctuations. Additionally, securing parts to prevent movement within containers is crucial to avoid breakage.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any specific certificates related to the auto parts being shipped, such as import permits or compliance certificates mandated by Peruvian regulations.
