For moisture-sensitive car parts, choose inner sealed pouches around each component, then place them in Sturdy cartons 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 are allowed to ship car tires with boxed car parts, but They should 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 vehicle parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers can require special handling notes, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. You 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 vehicle components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules are typically shipped with enhanced transit insurance. Carrier default liability Is often 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 vehicle components pallet loads, arrange the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and vehicle tires above. Use Corner 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.

Auto parts should be packed securely to prevent damage during transit, and it is essential to use appropriate cushioning materials. Additionally, labeling must be clear to indicate the contents and handling requirements to ensure proper care during loading and unloading.

The necessary documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any specific certificates of origin or compliance required by Peruvian customs for automotive parts. Proper documentation is crucial to facilitate smooth customs clearance.
