When shipping from Altamira, Mexico to Suape, Brazil, prepare for significant delays due to seasonal factors. During the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November), allow for buffer days to accommodate potential route disruptions and secure alternative ports of refuge. Additionally, prepare for increased congestion during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and soy export peak (February-June); secure vessel space and inland transport well in advance. Lastly, adjust for weather conditions during Brazil's wet season (October-March) to mitigate risks from flooding and delays.

Transporting perishable goods successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for frozen goods, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a Fast transit service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can in many cases be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines impose 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. We recommend checking carrier and destination rules in advance and combining dry ice with insulated packaging to keep reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and frozen food. We recommend arranging a policy that specifically covers temperature deviation and spoilage, and declaring the full value of your refrigerated food shipment. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that correct handling was used before honoring claims.
Most chilled beverages 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 check 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 chilled food 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
It is essential to maintain appropriate temperature controls throughout the ocean freight journey to prevent spoilage. This includes the use of refrigerated containers (reefers) for chilled and frozen items, ensuring that they are loaded and sealed properly to minimize temperature fluctuations.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Mexican and Brazilian food safety regulations. This typically includes obtaining health certificates, ensuring proper labeling, and adhering to import/export documentation requirements as mandated by Brazilian authorities.
