When shipping from Manila to Denver via ocean, prepare for significant delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in buffer days to schedules and coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates. During peak export periods (July-October), book vessel space at least 3-4 weeks in advance to avoid congestion. Expect increased handling times during the holiday season (October-December) and adjust delivery commitments accordingly to mitigate potential disruptions.

For moisture-sensitive car parts, Use 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, Consider adding moisture absorbers inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.
You are allowed to ship 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 Tires so they do not press against or rub cartons. Avoid placing heavy loose vehicle tires on top of fragile or moisture-sensitive vehicle parts, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.
Fluid-filled vehicle parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers May 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 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 Are best 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 Can be processed efficiently.
To reduce damage in mixed vehicle components pallet loads, Place 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 Clearly label any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers can respect correct handling procedures.
When shipping auto parts, it's essential to ensure that items are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, specific auto parts may require temperature control or moisture protection, depending on their material composition.
The documentation typically required includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance, as well as adherence to U.S. Customs regulations for automotive parts.
