Build in buffer days to your schedules and secure vessel space well in advance, especially during peak export periods (August-November). Communicate closely with carriers for real-time updates, as congestion can impact transit times. Additionally, plan around tight delivery windows during major holidays like Lunar New Year (January-February) and Eid al Fitr (March-June) to mitigate delays.

Transporting Fresh food successfully demands a continuous cold chain.

Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods can Usually be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines have 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods. 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 correct handling was used before honoring claims.
Most chilled beverages 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 verify 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 food in the same load, but only if your container or vehicle can maintain separate temperature zones. Fresh produce typically needs temperatures above freezing, while frozen food must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, best practice is separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at specific temperature ranges throughout the air freight process. It is essential to use refrigerated containers and ensure proper insulation to maintain the required temperatures. Additionally, monitoring systems should be in place to track temperature during transit to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Thai export regulations and Dutch import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certificates, ensuring compliance with food safety standards, and adhering to customs documentation requirements that verify the product's origin and quality.
