When shipping from Nansha, China to Vitoria, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and typhoon season (June-November). Build in extra buffer days in your transit schedules to account for potential port congestion and weather disruptions. Secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and the Brazilian wet season (October-March) to avoid rollovers. Stay updated on weather forecasts and adjust cut-off times accordingly to mitigate risks associated with seasonal flooding and cyclones (November-April).

Getting Autos for international shipping Requires a full wash and dry, removal or securing of all loose items, verifying there are no active leaks, and ensuring the battery is Securely mounted. We 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 Vary by carrier and route. Many international carriers Prohibit household goods inside passenger vehicles due to customs and security regulations, while some domestic haulers allow small quantities if they are below window level and securely fastened. Customs advisors recommend confirming with your carrier in writing and understanding that personal items are often Excluded from insurance, and they can complicate customs inspections.
To reduce moisture and rust risk for cars, We 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 Desiccant packs inside the auto, applying protective wax coatings to vulnerable metal parts, and choosing Enclosed containers wherever possible will significantly cut condensation and corrosion risk.
Standard carrier liability for Vehicles is usually Limited and may not reflect the true value of your Car. Insurance brokers recommend purchasing full-value 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 Included in the policy.
For international car transport, you typically need Proof of ownership, a Commercial invoice or bill of sale, a copy of your passport or company registration, and export/customs declarations filed in advance. Some destinations also require homologation or conformity certificates. Most freight forwarders recommend checking destination-specific rules well before shipping to avoid delays, extra storage charges, or refusal of entry.
Required documentation includes a Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, and any necessary import permits as per Brazilian regulations.
Seasonal factors such as typhoon season in the South China Sea can affect shipping conditions, with increased risks of delays or disruptions during the months of May to October.
