When shipping from Ningbo, China to Navegantes, Brazil, expect significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Brazil's Wet Season (October-March). Allow for extra buffer days to account for port congestion and potential flooding. During peak periods, such as the Asia-Europe export peak (August-November) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May), secure vessel space well in advance to avoid rollovers. Monitor weather conditions and adjust sailing schedules accordingly, particularly during typhoon season (June-November) and cyclone risk (November-April).

For moisture-sensitive car parts, choose inner Moisture-barrier bags 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 car tires with boxed Auto 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 Automotive parts, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.
Fluid-filled vehicle parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers can require Hazardous materials declarations, 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 typically shipped with Full-value cargo insurance. 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, arrange the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and 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.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with Brazilian regulations for automotive parts.
Seasonal considerations may include typhoon season in East Asia, which typically occurs from May to October, potentially affecting shipping schedules and port operations at Ningbo. Additionally, peak shipping times during the holiday season can impact availability and congestion at ports.
