Shipping Auto Parts from Jiangmen to Genoa via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive car parts, choose inner Moisture-barrier bags around each component, then place them in Sturdy cartons with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with Water-resistant tape and clearly mark cartons “Keep Dry”. For export or long-duration transit, evaluate adding moisture absorbers inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You are allowed to ship car tires with boxed Auto parts, but They should be physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed Vehicle components and then stacking or racking car tires so they do not press against or rub cartons. Avoid placing heavy loose vehicle 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 Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. You should Check whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under DOT 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 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 Full-value cargo insurance. Carrier default liability Is often 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 is processed efficiently.

To reduce damage in mixed vehicle components pallet loads, arrange the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and Tires above. Use Corner 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 prominently mark any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers can respect correct handling procedures.

When shipping auto parts, it is important to ensure that all items are securely packed to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, specific handling instructions may be necessary for sensitive components, such as electronic parts, which should be protected from moisture and temperature fluctuations.

Regulatory requirements include compliance with both Chinese export regulations and Italian import regulations.
