Shipping Car Tires from Shenzhen to Itapoa via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive car parts, select inner Moisture-barrier bags 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 are allowed to ship vehicle tires with boxed Auto 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 vehicle parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers often require Hazardous materials declarations, 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 vehicle components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules should be shipped with Full-value cargo 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 vehicle components pallet loads, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and 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.
