Shipping Tires from Lagos to Prince Rupert via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive automotive parts, Use inner poly bags with desiccant 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, Consider adding Desiccant packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You may ship Tires with boxed automotive parts, but They should be physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed Vehicle components and then stacking or racking 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.

Fluid-filled automotive parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers May require dangerous goods documentation, 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 Provide the appropriate safety data sheets (SDS), UN numbers, and packing group information if applicable. Even when not regulated as hazardous, clearly Indicate “Contains Fluids – Keep Upright” on packaging and shipping documents to guide carriers.

High-value auto components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules Are best shipped with declared value coverage. 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 Can be processed efficiently.

To reduce damage in mixed auto parts pallet loads, Place the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and car 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 Clearly label any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers Can follow correct handling procedures.
