When shipping from Tianjin, China to Paranagua, Brazil, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and the Brazilian wet season (October-March). Book vessel space well in advance, especially before the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and during the South America soy export peak (February-June). Add extra buffer days to account for port congestion and weather disruptions, particularly during peak rainfall months (November-February) and typhoon season (June-November). Stay updated on weather forecasts and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate risks.

For moisture-sensitive car parts, choose 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 “Protect from Moisture”. For export or long-duration transit, assess 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 must be physically separated and properly secured. We recommend palletizing boxed auto components 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 auto components, 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. Exporters should Check whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under IMDG 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 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 tends to be limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized Automotive parts. Most brokers 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 vehicle components pallet loads, arrange 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 auto components 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.
The necessary documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any required certificates of origin or compliance with Brazilian regulations for automotive parts.
