Shipping Vehicle Tires from Salalah to Lazaro Cardenas via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive car parts, select inner sealed pouches 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, Consider adding Desiccant packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You are allowed to ship vehicle tires with boxed car parts, but they must be physically separated and properly secured. We 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 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 often require special handling notes, 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 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 vehicle components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules should be shipped with enhanced transit 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 Can be processed efficiently.

To reduce damage in mixed vehicle components pallet loads, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and vehicle 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 Clearly label any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers Can follow correct handling procedures.

The documentation typically required includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with Mexican regulations for automotive parts.
