Shipping Car Parts from Kobe to Istanbul via Ocean Freight

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

You are allowed to ship vehicle tires with boxed Auto parts, but They should be physically separated and properly secured. Logistics providers commonly recommend palletizing boxed Vehicle components and then stacking or racking 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 often require Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. You should verify whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under DOT and IATA regulations and Provide 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 should be shipped with Full-value cargo insurance. Carrier default liability Is often 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 Can be processed efficiently.

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

The required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits or certificates of origin. Customs declarations must also be completed to ensure compliance with both Japanese and Turkish regulations.

Auto parts should be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Special care should be taken for sensitive components, which may require additional cushioning. It is also important to consider the weight and volume of the shipment to optimize container loading and ensure compliance with shipping regulations.
