Shipping Tires from Shanghai to Jacksonville via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, Use inner poly bags with desiccant 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 moisture absorbers inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You Can ship Tires with boxed automotive 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 vehicle tires on top of fragile or moisture-sensitive vehicle parts, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.

Fluid-filled Auto parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers May require dangerous goods documentation, 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 note “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 best shipped with declared value coverage. 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 Automotive pallet loads, Place the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and car 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 can respect correct handling procedures.

Auto parts should be properly packaged to prevent damage during transit. It is important to use appropriate cushioning materials and ensure that parts are secured to avoid shifting. Additionally, special attention should be given to any hazardous materials that may require specific handling and labeling.

Shipments of auto parts must comply with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, including proper documentation such as invoices, packing lists, and any necessary import permits. Additionally, auto parts must meet U.S. safety and environmental standards, which may involve inspections or certifications.
