When shipping from Anagni, Italy to Nhava Sheva, India, anticipate significant delays due to North Atlantic winter storms (November-March); build in extra time for transit and port calls. During the Diwali export peak (late September-mid November|October-December), secure vessel space early to avoid rolled bookings. Additionally, adjust for potential disruptions during the northeast monsoon (June-September|November-March) by allowing for weather-related delays and flexible routing options.

Moving perishable goods successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers 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 temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, Frozen food 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. 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled 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 adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most refrigerated 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 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 fresh 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, We 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 temperature-controlled containers to maintain the required temperature throughout the journey. This includes proper insulation and the use of refrigerated or frozen shipping methods to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food from Italy to India must comply with both European Union and Indian food safety regulations. This includes obtaining necessary certifications, ensuring proper labeling, and adhering to import restrictions set by the Indian Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI).
