Shipping Vehicle Components from Izmir to Veracruz via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, choose inner sealed pouches around each component, then place them in reinforced packaging with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with Water-resistant tape and clearly mark cartons “Keep Dry”. For export or long-duration transit, assess adding humidity control packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You Can ship car tires with boxed car parts, but they must be physically separated and properly secured. We 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 car tires on top of fragile or moisture-sensitive auto components, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.

Fluid-filled Auto parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers can require special handling notes, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Exporters should Check 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 mark “Contains Fluids – Keep Upright” on packaging and shipping documents to guide carriers.

High-value Car parts such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules are typically shipped with enhanced transit insurance. Carrier default liability tends to be limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized Automotive 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 Automotive pallet loads, arrange the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and vehicle tires above. Use angle boards, Stretch wrap plus strapping 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 will follow correct handling procedures.

The shipment of auto parts requires proper documentation, including a commercial invoice, packing list, and a bill of lading. Additionally, compliance with customs regulations, including certificates of origin and any necessary permits, is essential for the importation of automotive parts into Mexico.

Handling auto parts during ocean freight requires careful packaging to prevent damage from moisture and movement during transit. It is advisable to use waterproof materials and secure containers, as well as to ensure that all parts are properly labeled and categorized according to customs requirements for efficient clearance upon arrival.
