Plan for potential delays due to North Pacific Winter Storms (June-November|December-March), as severe conditions can extend transit times. Lock in carrier bookings at least 2-3 weeks in advance during peak holiday volumes (late June-early September|August-September|mid-November to early December) to avoid capacity issues. Allow for buffer days for dwell times at terminals, especially during winter storms (December-March|November-December) to ensure timely deliveries.

For moisture-sensitive automotive parts, select inner poly bags with desiccant around each component, then place them in reinforced packaging with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with Water-resistant tape and clearly mark cartons “Keep Dry”. For export or long-duration transit, assess adding moisture absorbers inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.
You may ship vehicle tires with boxed automotive parts, but they must be physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed Vehicle components and then stacking or racking vehicle 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 automotive parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers often require dangerous goods documentation, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Exporters should Check whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under DOT and IATA regulations and prepare 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 auto components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules should be shipped with declared value coverage. Carrier default liability tends to be 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 will be processed efficiently.
To reduce damage in mixed auto parts pallet loads, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and car tires above. Use angle 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 visibly tag any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers can respect correct handling procedures.
