When shipping from Hong Kong to Altamira, be mindful of the East Asia rainy season (May-October), as heavy rainfall can cause delays in port operations and inland drayage. Enhance waterproof coverings and moisture control measures for shipments during the wettest months (June-September). Additionally, arrange vessel space well in advance of the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion and delays. Expect extended transit times during the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November) and plan for additional buffer days to accommodate potential disruptions.

Preparing passenger vehicles for international shipping necessitates Thorough cleaning, removal or securing of all loose items, inspecting hoses and seals, and ensuring the battery is properly fastened. Logistics providers recommend leaving about a quarter tank of fuel, fully charging the battery, documenting existing damage with photos, and providing all required ownership and customs paperwork before the carrier collects the vehicle.
Rules on shipping personal items inside Autos differ between domestic and international moves. Many international carriers restrict household goods inside passenger vehicles due to customs and security regulations, while some domestic haulers Permit limited items if they are below window level and securely fastened. Most experts recommend confirming with your carrier in writing and understanding that personal items are often not covered by standard cargo policies, and they can complicate customs inspections.
To reduce moisture and rust risk for Autos, most carriers suggest starting with a completely dry vehicle, sealing all openings, and avoiding storage under sprinklers or in standing water. For longer or ocean shipments, using vapor inhibitors inside the Vehicle, applying rust-inhibiting sprays to vulnerable metal parts, and choosing covered carriers wherever possible will significantly cut condensation and corrosion risk.
Standard carrier liability for Vehicles is usually capped and may not reflect the true value of your passenger vehicle. We recommend purchasing comprehensive cargo insurance that covers theft, impact damage, and moisture-related issues such as corrosion or water intrusion. Provide an accurate value, share recent photos and condition reports, and confirm that loading, unloading, and any storage periods are covered under the same certificate.
For international Auto transport, you typically need clear title documents, a value statement, a copy of your passport or company registration, and export/customs declarations filed in advance. Some destinations also require Emissions or safety compliance documents. Customs specialists recommend checking destination-specific rules well before shipping to avoid delays, extra storage charges, or refusal of entry.
When shipping automobiles via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure that vehicles are properly secured in containers to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, it is important to drain fuel and fluids to comply with safety regulations and to protect the vehicles from potential leaks.
Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, export declaration from Hong Kong, and necessary import permits or certificates as mandated by Mexican customs. It is also important to ensure that the vehicles meet Mexican regulatory standards for emissions and safety.
