Before shipment, Uruguayan automotive dealers should agree on inspection milestones and a damage-notice process to handle battery-related losses. Retain images of the underbody, battery area, and instrument-panel status before loading; specify who inspects the vehicle upon receipt, when the carrier or insurer must be notified, and who preserves original evidence. If a collision, water ingress, or warning light is found at the port, isolate the vehicle first and report the claim as agreed. Local procedures are subject to the relevant authorities, licensed institutions, and applicable contract terms. See What happens if a vehicle is damaged during shipping.
