Shipping Car Tires from San Jose to Port Said via Ocean Freight

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 strong packing 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 may ship Tires with boxed car parts, but They should be physically separated and properly secured. Logistics providers commonly 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 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 verify 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 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 vehicle 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 auto parts pallet loads, Place the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and vehicle tires above. Use Corner boards, shrink wrap and bands 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.

Auto parts should be securely packaged to prevent damage during ocean transport. It's important to consider protection against moisture and corrosion, as ocean shipping can expose cargo to saltwater and humidity. Additionally, proper labeling and documentation are essential to ensure smooth customs clearance at both ports.

Exporters must comply with Costa Rican export regulations, including obtaining necessary export permits and ensuring that the auto parts meet any applicable standards. In Egypt, importers must adhere to customs regulations, which may include providing certificates of origin and compliance with local automotive standards.
