Shipping Tires from Surabaya to San Juan via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Auto parts, select inner Moisture-barrier bags around each component, then place them in Sturdy cartons with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with Water-resistant tape and clearly mark cartons “Keep Dry”. For export or long-duration transit, assess adding humidity control packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You Can ship vehicle tires with boxed Auto parts, but They should be physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed Vehicle 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 auto components, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.

Fluid-filled Auto 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 Check whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under DOT 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 Car parts 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 Automotive 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 will be processed efficiently.

To reduce damage in mixed Automotive pallet loads, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and Tires above. Use Corner boards, Stretch wrap plus strapping 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 visibly tag any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers will follow correct handling procedures.

When shipping auto parts via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure that all components are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, parts should be labeled clearly, and any hazardous materials must be identified and handled according to international shipping regulations.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any applicable certificates of origin or compliance. It is also necessary to comply with both Indonesian export regulations and Puerto Rican import regulations to ensure smooth customs clearance.
