When shipping from Taipei to Toronto via ocean, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Add extra buffer days for port operations and confirm flexible routing options during peak rainfall (June-September) and typhoon months (August-October). Additionally, expect increased congestion during the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and holiday peaks (October-December), necessitating early bookings and staggered shipments to mitigate delays and ensure timely delivery.

For moisture-sensitive car parts, choose inner poly bags with desiccant around each component, then place them in Sturdy cartons with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with Water-resistant tape and clearly mark cartons “Dry Storage Only”. 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 car tires with boxed automotive parts, but They should be physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed car parts 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 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 can require dangerous goods documentation, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. You should Check whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under relevant transport 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 are typically shipped with declared value coverage. Carrier default liability Is often 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 is processed efficiently.
To reduce damage in mixed vehicle components pallet loads, arrange the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and car tires above. Use Corner 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 prominently mark any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers can respect correct handling procedures.
The necessary documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant export permits from Taiwan. Additionally, customs declarations must be completed to comply with Canadian regulations upon arrival in Toronto.
Seasonal considerations may include potential delays due to typhoon season in Taiwan, which typically occurs from May to November, and winter weather conditions in Canada that could affect port operations in Toronto during the colder months.
