The route from Rotterdam to Taipei is strategically advantageous for transporting automotive components due to its direct ocean passage, minimizing potential delays associated with land transport. This maritime route leverages efficient shipping lanes, ensuring reliable transit for critical vehicle parts. Additionally, the capacity of ocean freight allows for large volumes of auto parts to be moved simultaneously, catering to high-demand manufacturing needs in Taiwan.
Rotterdam boasts a state-of-the-art port with advanced logistics facilities that streamline the loading and unloading of automotive shipments. The port's extensive connectivity to European distribution networks facilitates seamless access to various markets.

When shipping from Rotterdam to Taipei, anticipate significant disruptions during winter storms (November-March) and the Asian rainy season (May-October). Build in additional buffer days to account for port congestion and weather-related delays. Arrange vessel space and inland transport well in advance, particularly before peak periods like the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February). Monitor carriers for updated ETAs and adjust cut-off times to mitigate the impact of seasonal factors on your shipping schedule.

For moisture-sensitive automotive parts, Use 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 humidity control packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.
You may ship 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 car tires on top of fragile or moisture-sensitive Automotive 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 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 mark “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 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 auto parts pallet loads, Place 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 will follow correct handling procedures.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with Taiwanese regulations.
Seasonal weather patterns, such as typhoon season in the Western Pacific, can impact shipping schedules and port operations, necessitating careful planning for potential delays.
