For moisture-sensitive car parts, select inner sealed pouches around each component, then place them in double-wall boxes with sufficient cushioning. Seal all seams with strong packing tape and clearly mark cartons “Dry Storage Only”. For export or long-duration transit, Consider adding moisture absorbers inside master cartons and, if needed, inside the shipping container.
You are allowed to ship vehicle tires with boxed car parts, but it is best that they are physically separated and properly secured. Logistics providers commonly recommend palletizing boxed car parts and then stacking or racking Tires so they do not press against or rub cartons.

Shippers should verify whether the product is classified as dangerous goods under relevant transport regulations and Provide 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.

To reduce damage in mixed vehicle components pallet loads, position the heaviest metal components at the bottom, with lighter boxes and vehicle tires above. Use edge protectors, shrink wrap and bands 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 Clearly label any fragile or orientation-sensitive cartons so handlers can respect correct handling procedures.
