When shipping from Itapoa, Brazil to Taipei, Taiwan, be mindful of the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and the South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April), which can cause delays and increased congestion. Arrange vessel space and equipment at least 3-4 weeks in advance during peak export seasons (January-May, September-December) to avoid tight capacity. Include extra buffer days in transit plans, particularly during the Western New Year (December 20-January 5) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) periods, as port operations may slow significantly.

For moisture-sensitive car parts, choose inner poly bags with desiccant around each component, then place them in double-wall boxes with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with Water-resistant tape and clearly mark cartons “Dry Storage Only”. For export or long-duration transit, assess adding moisture absorbers inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.
You are allowed to ship car tires with boxed automotive parts, but it is best that they are physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed car parts and then stacking or racking vehicle tires so they do not press against or rub cartons. Avoid placing heavy loose vehicle 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 can require dangerous goods documentation, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Shippers should Check whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under relevant transport regulations and prepare the appropriate safety data sheets (SDS), UN numbers, and packing group information if applicable. Even when not regulated as hazardous, clearly note “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 declared value coverage. Carrier default liability is usually limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized Automotive parts. Freight experts 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, arrange the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and car tires above. Use edge protectors, Stretch wrap plus strapping to stabilize the load and prevent shifting. Keep moisture-sensitive vehicle 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 respect correct handling procedures.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant certificates of origin or compliance with Taiwanese regulations.
Shipping may be affected by seasonal weather patterns, such as storms or typhoons, which can impact ocean freight operations and port accessibility during certain times of the year.
