When shipping from Navegantes, Brazil to Newark, United States, consider the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and build in extra buffer days due to heavy rainfall and potential flooding. During peak fruit export periods (January-May, September-December), expect tight vessel space and longer terminal dwell times, necessitating early bookings. Additionally, monitor the South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April) and adjust schedules accordingly to avoid disruptions. Lastly, prepare for winter storms in North America (December-March), as they can significantly impact transit times and delivery commitments.

For moisture-sensitive car parts, Use inner poly bags with desiccant around each component, then place them in double-wall boxes 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 are allowed to ship Tires with boxed automotive parts, but it is best that they are 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 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. Shippers 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 vehicle components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules Are best shipped with declared value coverage. Carrier default liability is usually 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 vehicle components pallet loads, Place the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and car tires above. Use edge protectors, 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.
Auto parts should be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit, considering their weight and fragility. Additionally, proper labeling is essential to ensure compliance with customs regulations and facilitate smooth handling at both the port of Navegantes and Newark.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with U.S. regulations for automotive parts. It is important to ensure that all paperwork is accurately completed to avoid delays in customs clearance.
