Shipping Auto Parts from Nanjing to Mundra via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive car parts, select inner sealed pouches around each component, then place them in double-wall boxes with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with Water-resistant tape and clearly mark cartons “Protect from Moisture”. For export or long-duration transit, Consider adding Desiccant packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You are allowed to ship vehicle tires with boxed car parts, but it is best that they are physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed auto 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 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 often require special handling notes, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Shippers should Check whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under IMDG 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 vehicle components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules should be shipped with enhanced transit insurance. Carrier default liability is usually limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized Automotive parts. Most brokers 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, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and vehicle tires above. Use edge protectors, Stretch wrap plus strapping to stabilize the load and prevent shifting. Keep moisture-sensitive auto components 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.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant certificates of origin or compliance with Indian regulations for automotive parts.
