Shipping Tires from Laem Chabang to Dallas-Fort Worth via Ocean Freight

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

You Can ship car tires with boxed Auto parts, but they must 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 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 Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Exporters should verify 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 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 Full-value cargo insurance. Carrier default liability tends to be 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 is processed efficiently.

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

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Thailand. Additionally, a customs declaration form must be completed for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, detailing the nature and value of the auto parts.

Seasonal considerations include potential monsoon weather in Thailand, which may affect port operations and loading schedules. Additionally, peak shipping seasons, such as the holiday season, may lead to increased demand for container space and longer processing times at ports.
