When shipping from Amsterdam to Taipei, expect significant disruptions due to seasonal factors. During winter storms (November-March), build in extra buffer days for potential delays caused by weather and port congestion. Be mindful of the peak holiday periods (October-December) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February), as capacity tightens and customs processing slows. Additionally, consider the impact of the East Asia rainy season (May-October) on port operations, and secure vessel space well in advance to mitigate risks.

Transporting fresh produce successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging 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 temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods can often 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 Frozen food at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and frozen food. We 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 adequate insulation 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 Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, health certificates, and import permits specific to food products as mandated by Taiwanese authorities.
Yes, it is crucial to maintain appropriate temperature controls throughout the air freight process, ensuring that fresh food is kept at refrigerated temperatures and frozen food at sub-zero temperatures to prevent spoilage.
