When shipping from Surabaya to Newark, expect significant delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November) and Indian Ocean Cyclone Season (April-June, October-December). Build in buffer days to schedules and communicate closely with carriers for real-time updates. During peak holiday periods like Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Christmas (October-December), secure vessel space well in advance to avoid congestion. Prepare for potential disruptions from North Atlantic Winter Storms (November-March) by adjusting cut-off times and considering alternative routes.

For moisture-sensitive car parts, select inner sealed pouches around each component, then place them in double-wall boxes with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with strong packing 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 are allowed to ship vehicle tires with boxed car parts, but it is best that they are physically separated and properly secured. Logistics providers commonly 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 vehicle parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers often require special handling notes, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. Shippers should verify 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 vehicle components such as engines, transmissions, ECUs, and safety modules should be shipped with enhanced transit insurance. Carrier default liability is usually limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized vehicle 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 vehicle components pallet loads, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and vehicle tires above. Use edge protectors, shrink wrap and bands 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.
When shipping auto parts, it is essential to ensure that items are properly packaged to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, specific auto parts may require special handling due to their size, weight, or fragility. It is advisable to comply with international shipping standards to mitigate risks during ocean transport.
The required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with U.S. import regulations. It is important to ensure that all paperwork is accurate and complete to facilitate smooth customs clearance.
