Shipping Car Tires from Surabaya to Prince Rupert via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive automotive 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 humidity control packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You may 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 car tires on top of fragile or moisture-sensitive Automotive parts, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.

Fluid-filled automotive 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 mark “Contains Fluids – Keep Upright” on packaging and shipping documents to guide carriers.

High-value auto components 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 auto parts 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 will follow correct handling procedures.
