When shipping from Jiangmen, China to Manaus, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March). Build in extra buffer days for transit and confirm vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February). Stay updated on weather conditions during the South Atlantic cyclone risk period (November-April) to adjust routes as necessary. Utilize waterproof coverings and flexible routing options to mitigate risks from heavy rains and flooding.

Getting cars for international shipping necessitates complete exterior and interior cleaning, removal or securing of all loose items, inspecting hoses and seals, and ensuring the battery is properly fastened. Most export agents recommend leaving about a quarter tank of fuel, fully charging the battery, documenting existing damage with photos, and providing all required Titles and export documents before the carrier collects the vehicle.
Rules on shipping personal items inside cars depend on the transport company and lane. Many international carriers restrict household goods inside passenger vehicles due to customs and security regulations, while some domestic haulers accept light belongings 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 cars, specialists recommend 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 auto, 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 restricted and may not reflect the true value of your passenger vehicle. Most logistics providers 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 car transport, you typically need the original title or registration, a value statement, a copy of your passport or company registration, and export/customs declarations filed in advance. Some destinations also require evidence the vehicle meets local standards. Customs specialists recommend checking destination-specific rules well before shipping to avoid delays, extra storage charges, or refusal of entry.
Required documentation includes the Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and a certificate of origin. Additionally, customs clearance documents specific to Brazilian regulations must be prepared, including the Import License and the vehicle's registration documents.
