When shipping from Baltimore to Taipei, build in additional buffer days during the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and North Atlantic Winter Storms (November-March) to accommodate potential delays. Secure vessel space and inland transport capacity well in advance during peak periods such as the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid rollovers. Adjust for weather-related disruptions and port congestion, particularly during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November), to ensure timely deliveries.

Shipping Fresh food successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers 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 temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, Frozen food can Usually 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 reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and frozen food. Insurance specialists generally 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 adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most Chilled food should stay between 0–4°C, while many Frozen food 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 Fresh produce and Frozen food 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 Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain appropriate conditions, ensuring that chilled and frozen foods remain at their required temperatures throughout the journey. Proper packing and insulation are also essential to prevent spoilage during the ocean transit over the 12,603 km route.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations and Taiwan's food safety standards. This includes obtaining necessary permits, ensuring proper labeling, and providing health certificates to confirm that the products meet Taiwan's import regulations.
