When shipping from Aliaga, Turkey to Vitoria, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to Mediterranean and North Atlantic winter storms (November-March), so add extra buffer days for transit and port calls. Arrange flexible berthing windows and alternative routing options to mitigate congestion risks at the Suez Canal (January-March) and during Brazil's wet season (October-March). Additionally, during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December), monitor service advisories closely and confirm reefer availability to avoid just-in-time delivery challenges.

Shipping fresh produce successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a time‑definite service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, Frozen food can often be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines have limits on how much dry ice is allowed per package and per shipment, and labels must show the net weight of dry ice and UN1845 markings. Our compliance team recommends checking carrier and destination rules in advance and combining dry ice with insulated packaging to keep Frozen food at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and frozen food. Insurance specialists generally recommend arranging a policy that specifically covers temperature deviation and spoilage, and declaring the full value of your Reefer cargo. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that Proper packaging was used before honoring claims.
Most Chilled food should stay between 0–4°C, while many frozen goods products must remain at −18°C or colder. Exact ranges depend on the product type and local regulations. Always verify requirements for each item and specify the target range on booking instructions and labels so your Reefer cargo is set correctly.
You can sometimes mix Fresh produce and frozen goods in the same load, but only if your container or vehicle can maintain separate temperature zones. Chilled food typically needs temperatures above freezing, while Frozen goods must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, We recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at specific temperature ranges throughout the shipping process to prevent spoilage. It is essential to use refrigerated containers with appropriate insulation and temperature monitoring systems. Additionally, proper loading techniques should ensure air circulation around products to maintain their quality.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with Brazilian health regulations, including obtaining sanitary certificates and import permits. Additionally, customs documentation must detail the origin, type, and quantity of products, and comply with both Turkish export regulations and Brazilian import protocols.
