Shipping Car Tires from Vitoria to Altamira via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive automotive parts, choose inner Moisture-barrier bags around each component, then place them in Sturdy cartons with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with strong packing tape and clearly mark cartons “Protect from Moisture”. For export or long-duration transit, Consider adding Desiccant packs inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.

You may ship car tires with boxed Auto parts, but They should be physically separated and properly secured. Logistics providers commonly recommend palletizing boxed auto components and then stacking or racking Tires so they do not press against or rub cartons. Avoid placing heavy loose Tires on top of fragile or moisture-sensitive auto components, as this can cause crushing or punctures during transit.

Fluid-filled automotive parts such as fuel system components, shock absorbers, or oil coolers can require Hazardous materials declarations, depending on the type and quantity of fluid. You should verify whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under IMDG and IATA regulations and Provide the appropriate safety data sheets (SDS), UN numbers, and packing group information if applicable. Even when not regulated as hazardous, clearly Indicate “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 typically shipped with Full-value cargo insurance. Carrier default liability Is often limited and may not cover the full replacement cost of specialized vehicle 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 Can be processed efficiently.

To reduce damage in mixed auto parts pallet loads, arrange the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and Tires above. Use Corner boards, shrink wrap and bands 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 Clearly label any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers Can follow correct handling procedures.

When shipping auto parts, it's essential to ensure that all items are securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Given the ocean route's length of 7856 km, using moisture-resistant materials and cushioning is recommended to protect sensitive components. Additionally, it’s crucial to comply with any specific loading and unloading procedures at the ports to facilitate smooth handling.

The required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any applicable certificates of origin.
