Shipping Tires from Port Everglades to Guayaquil via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, choose inner sealed pouches around each component, then place them in Sturdy cartons with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with filament tape and clearly mark cartons “Keep Dry”. For export or long-duration transit, evaluate adding moisture absorbers inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You Can ship car tires with boxed car parts, but They should be physically separated and properly secured. Most carriers 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 vehicle 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 can require special handling notes, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. You should review 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 note “Contains Fluids – Keep Upright” on packaging and shipping documents to guide carriers.

High-value Car parts such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules are typically shipped with enhanced transit insurance. Carrier default liability Is often 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 is processed efficiently.

To reduce damage in mixed Automotive pallet loads, arrange the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and vehicle tires above. Use Corner 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 prominently mark 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 export licenses. Additionally, customs declarations must comply with both U.S. and Ecuadorian regulations, including any specific import permits for automotive parts.

Seasonal weather patterns, such as the hurricane season in the Atlantic from June to November, may impact shipping conditions. It is advisable to monitor weather forecasts and potential disruptions during this period when planning shipments.
