Shipping Automotives from Jakarta to Denver via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, choose inner poly bags with desiccant around each component, then place them in double-wall boxes with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with strong packing 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 automotive parts, but it is best that they are physically separated and properly secured. Logistics providers commonly 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 dangerous goods documentation, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Shippers should verify 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 declared value coverage. Carrier default liability is usually limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized vehicle 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 car tires above. Use edge protectors, shrink wrap and bands 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.

Auto parts should be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. It is important to consider the weight and fragility of the parts, as well as to ensure that they are properly labeled and documented for customs clearance.

Shipments of auto parts from Indonesia to the United States must comply with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, including accurate tariff classification and valuation. Importers must also ensure that the parts meet any applicable safety and environmental standards set by U.S. agencies.
