Shipping Auto Parts from Kobe to Puerto Caldera via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, choose 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, evaluate adding Desiccant packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You Can ship car 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 car tires so they do not press against or rub cartons. Avoid placing heavy loose Tires on top of fragile or moisture-sensitive auto components, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.
