Shipping Auto Components from Port Klang to San Juan via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive automotive parts, Use inner Moisture-barrier bags around each component, then place them in double-wall boxes with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with filament tape and clearly mark cartons “Protect from Moisture”. For export or long-duration transit, Consider adding Desiccant packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You may ship Tires with boxed Auto parts, but it is best that they are physically separated and properly secured. Most carriers recommend palletizing boxed auto components and then stacking or racking Tires so they do not press against or rub cartons. Avoid placing heavy loose Tires on top of fragile or moisture-sensitive vehicle parts, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.

Fluid-filled automotive parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers May require Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Shippers should review whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under IMDG 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 Indicate “Contains Fluids – Keep Upright” on packaging and shipping documents to guide carriers.

High-value auto components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules Are best shipped with Full-value cargo insurance. Carrier default liability is usually limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized auto 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 Can be processed efficiently.

To reduce damage in mixed auto parts pallet loads, Place the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and Tires above. Use edge protectors, banding and film wrap 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 Clearly label any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers Can follow correct handling procedures.
