When shipping from Bangkok to Genoa, prepare for significant delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Add buffer days to schedules and confirm flexible berthing windows to accommodate potential disruptions. During peak export periods (August-November), expect tighter capacity and longer lead times; communicate closely with carriers to mitigate risks. Additionally, monitor customs processing slowdowns during the Western New Year holiday (December 20-January 5) and adjust cut-off times accordingly.

Moving fresh produce successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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 Reefer cargo.
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 reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may limit 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 refrigerated food shipment. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that Proper packaging 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, best practice is separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at appropriate temperatures throughout the entire air freight process, including during loading, transit, and unloading. It is essential to use insulated packaging and temperature-controlled containers to maintain product integrity and comply with health regulations.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Thai export regulations and EU import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certificates, ensuring compliance with food safety standards, and adhering to customs documentation requirements to facilitate clearance in Italy.
