Shipping Car Parts from Santo Tomas de Castilla to Mundra via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, select inner Moisture-barrier bags around each component, then place them in reinforced packaging with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with filament tape and clearly mark cartons “Dry Storage Only”. For export or long-duration transit, evaluate adding Desiccant packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You Can ship vehicle tires with boxed Auto parts, but they must be physically separated and properly secured. Most carriers recommend palletizing boxed car parts and then stacking or racking car 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 Auto parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers often require Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Exporters should review whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under relevant transport regulations and include 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 Car parts such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules should be shipped with Full-value cargo insurance. Carrier default liability tends to be limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized auto parts. Freight experts 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 Automotive pallet loads, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and Tires above. Use angle boards, banding and film wrap to stabilize the load and prevent shifting. Keep moisture-sensitive vehicle 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 Can follow correct handling procedures.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant certificates of origin or compliance with Indian import regulations.

Auto parts should be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, it is important to consider the potential for corrosion due to ocean conditions, so moisture-resistant packaging may be advisable.
