Units should be kept in sealed, anti-static bags and stored on shelves away from direct sunlight or temperature fluctuations. Regular inventory rotation ensures older stock is used first, maintaining freshness and reliability. Warehouses should implement tracking systems to monitor stock levels and expiration dates, if applicable, while ensuring compliance with local regulations for automotive parts handling.
