Shipping Automotive Parts from Nhava Sheva to Callao via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive car parts, select inner Moisture-barrier bags around each component, then place them in reinforced packaging with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with filament tape and clearly mark cartons “Keep Dry”. For export or long-duration transit, Consider adding humidity control packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You are allowed to ship vehicle tires with boxed Auto parts, but they must be physically separated and properly secured. Most carriers recommend palletizing boxed Vehicle components and then stacking or racking 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 often require Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Exporters should review 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 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 should be shipped with Full-value cargo insurance. Carrier default liability tends to be limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized auto 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, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and Tires above. Use angle boards, banding and film wrap 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 will follow correct handling procedures.

The documentation required includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any certificates of origin or compliance as per Peruvian regulations.

Yes, auto parts should be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit, and special care should be taken to ensure that sensitive components are adequately protected from moisture and corrosion during the ocean journey.
