| Wax Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic, rust-inhibitive compound (e.g., lanolin or synthetic polymer blend) |
| Coverage Areas | Undercarriage, frame rails, suspension components, wheel hubs, exhaust system, chassis welds |
| Film Thickness | 25–50 microns (dry) |
| Drying Time | 2–4 hours (ambient 25°C) |
| Service Life (Marine Exposure) | Up to 60 days (unwashed) |
| Removal Process | Biodegradable degreaser or steam cleaning (post-delivery) |
3.2 Advantages of Wax Coating
- Barrier Protection: Prevents direct contact between seawater and ferrous surfaces
- Self-Healing Properties: Micro-migration of wax compounds to damaged areas
- Non-Toxic & Non-Conductive: Safe for electrical systems and personnel
- Complements Desiccant Use: When applied pre-containerization, enhances moisture resistance
Note: Wax treatment is mandatory for Flat Rack and Bulk Cargo shipments. Recommended for RO-RO units with exposed undercarriages.
4. Recommended Logistics Strategy
| Scenario | Preferred Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet of 10+ operable trucks | RO-RO | Cost-effective, rapid loading, minimal handling |
| Single high-value or damaged unit | Flat Rack | Full structural protection, traceable container ID |
| Non-drivable, disassembled units | Bulk Cargo | Accommodates irregular shapes; lower cost |
5. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments must adhere to:
– IMSBC Code (for Bulk Cargo stowage)
– CTU (Cargo Transport Unit) Code (for Flat Rack containers)
– US EPA & DOT Import Regulations (emissions, safety standards)
– China Customs Export Declaration (CCED) with vehicle VIN traceability
6. Conclusion
For Kansas City-bound used truck imports from China, RO-RO offers the optimal balance of cost and efficiency for operational units, while Flat Rack containers provide superior protection for premium or oversized assets. Bulk Cargo remains a niche option for non-functional units where cost is prioritized over condition.
Mandatory wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is critical across all methods to mitigate saltwater-induced degradation during Pacific transit. SEA LION International enforces this protocol at origin CFS (Container Freight Stations) in China to ensure cargo integrity upon US arrival.
Fleet managers and construction logistics planners are advised to align shipment profiles with the appropriate method based on operability, value, and delivery timeline.
