Shipping Car Parts from Nansha to Rotterdam via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, select inner Moisture-barrier bags around each component, then place them in double-wall boxes 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 vehicle tires with boxed Auto parts, but it is best that they are 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 Automotive parts, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.

Fluid-filled Auto parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers often require Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Shippers 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 should be shipped with Full-value cargo insurance. Carrier default liability is usually 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, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and Tires above. Use edge protectors, 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 typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export licenses from China, as well as import documentation compliant with Dutch regulations.

Seasonal considerations include potential disruptions due to typhoon season in the South China Sea, which typically occurs from May to October, and increased shipping traffic during the holiday season, potentially affecting availability and scheduling.
