Shipping Automotive Lubricants
When packaging automotive lubricants for shipping, ensure they are packed in containers for transporting liquids. Containers best for shipping automotive lubricants often include durable plastic containers or metal drums/containers. Do not ship without ensuring the containers are securely sealed and labeled. One of the most important things to remember about shipping automotive lubricants is that various frequently shipped automotive parts, including automotive lubricants, can fall under the hazardous materials and dangerous goods categories.
Automotive Lubricants are usually considered hazmat materials because they are often flammable—some frequently shipped hazmat automotive components, including aerosols, paints, batteries, and engines. Shipping automotive lubricants will require you to comply with various transportation regulations and requirements, such as the HMR (Hazardous Materials Regulations), DOT (Department of Transportation), and the IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) codes and regulations. While this step can initially feel overwhelming, your FreightCenter agent will help you determine your Freight/Hazmat class and the subsequently required shipping labels. Depending on the composition of the lubricants, you may need to display “flammable” or “Hazardous Material,” among other warning labels.
In addition, your FreightCenter agent will also help you determine and complete any required paperwork. We will ensure you have completed the necessary documentation, including packing lists, invoices, dangerous goods declarations, bills of lading, customs, permits, and certifications. When shipping any hazmat material, you must also provide an MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet). If you do not have this document, obtain it from the manufacturer, who can offer it, among other essential details needed for shipment.
