Shipping Car Tires from Port Said to Miami via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, choose inner Moisture-barrier bags around each component, then place them in reinforced packaging with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with Water-resistant tape and clearly mark cartons “Protect from Moisture”. For export or long-duration transit, assess adding humidity control packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You Can ship car tires with boxed Auto parts, but they must be physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed auto components and then stacking or racking vehicle 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 Auto parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers can require Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Exporters should Check whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under IMDG 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 mark “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 Full-value cargo insurance. Carrier default liability tends to be 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 will be processed efficiently.

To reduce damage in mixed Automotive pallet loads, arrange the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and Tires above. Use angle boards, 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 visibly tag any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers will follow correct handling procedures.

When shipping auto parts via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure that the parts are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, the use of corrosion-resistant materials is recommended due to the marine environment. Special care should be taken with sensitive components to maintain their integrity throughout the journey.

Documentation required for customs clearance includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and a bill of lading. Import permits may also be necessary, depending on the specific type of auto parts being shipped. It's important to ensure that all documents comply with both Egyptian export regulations and U.S. import requirements.
