When shipping from Anagni, Italy to Guayaquil, Ecuador, expect significant delays due to North Atlantic winter storms (November-March); build in extra time for transit and port calls. During the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December), reserve vessel space early to avoid tight capacity. Additionally, track customs processing times closely during the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5) to avoid delays. Lastly, consider potential congestion at the Suez Canal (January-March) and adjust routing as necessary.

Transporting perishable goods successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use cooler boxes with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for frozen goods, 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 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. Most experts 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 chilled food and frozen food. Most shippers should 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 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 temperature-controlled shipment 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 food 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in refrigerated containers to maintain optimal temperature control throughout the 10,421 km ocean route. Proper loading techniques are crucial to ensure air circulation and prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require adherence to both Italian export regulations and Ecuadorian import regulations, including obtaining necessary phytosanitary certificates, health certificates, and compliance with food safety standards to prevent the entry of pests and diseases.
