Shipping Auto Parts from Sihanoukville to Bogota via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, Use inner poly bags with desiccant around each component, then place them in reinforced packaging with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with Water-resistant tape and clearly mark cartons “Dry Storage Only”. For export or long-duration transit, assess adding moisture absorbers inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You Can ship Tires with boxed automotive parts, but they must be physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed car parts and then stacking or racking vehicle tires so they do not press against or rub cartons. Avoid placing heavy loose vehicle 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 May require dangerous goods documentation, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Exporters should Check whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under relevant transport regulations and prepare 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 tends to be limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized Automotive 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 will be 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 angle boards, Stretch wrap plus strapping 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 visibly tag any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers can respect correct handling procedures.

When shipping auto parts, it is essential to ensure that items are securely packed to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, consider the weight and size of the auto parts, as they may require special handling or stowage arrangements on the vessel. Proper labeling and categorization are also crucial for customs clearance.

Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any specific import permits required by Colombian authorities for automotive parts. It is also important to ensure compliance with any regulatory requirements between Cambodia and Colombia regarding the importation of automotive components.
