Shipping Vehicle Tires from Itapoa to Newark via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive automotive parts, Use inner Moisture-barrier bags around each component, then place them in double-wall boxes with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with filament tape and clearly mark cartons “Keep Dry”. For export or long-duration transit, assess adding Desiccant packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You may ship Tires with boxed Auto parts, but it is best that they are physically separated and properly secured. Most carriers recommend palletizing boxed Vehicle 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 automotive parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers May require Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Shippers should review whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under DOT 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 auto components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules Are best shipped with Full-value cargo insurance. Carrier default liability is usually limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized auto 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 will be processed efficiently.

To reduce damage in mixed auto parts pallet loads, Place the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and Tires above. Use edge protectors, banding and film wrap 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 visibly tag any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers Can follow correct handling procedures.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Brazil. Additionally, customs documentation for entering the United States must be completed, including the entry manifest and any applicable import permits.

Auto parts should be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. It is important to ensure that parts are properly labeled and that any hazardous materials are compliant with international shipping regulations. Additionally, container specifications should be suitable for the dimensions and weight of the auto parts being shipped.
