When shipping from Newark to Yantian, prepare for the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative ports. Expect delays during the North America Winter Storms (December-March) and the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October), necessitating flexible delivery windows. Confirm vessel space early for the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) and the Lunar New Year disruptions (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion and capacity shortages. Maintain communication with carriers for real-time updates throughout these critical periods.

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 “Protect from Moisture”. For export or long-duration transit, evaluate adding humidity control packs 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 auto 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 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 IMDG 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 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. 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 is 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 auto components 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.
When shipping auto parts, it is essential to ensure that items are securely packaged to prevent damage during ocean transport. Additionally, parts should be properly labeled and categorized to comply with customs regulations and facilitate inspection.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with Chinese regulations for automotive parts. Ensuring all documents are complete and accurate is crucial for customs clearance.
