When shipping from Bangkok, Thailand to Lima, Peru, expect potential delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) and Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November). Add buffer days for transit times and communicate closely with carriers for real-time updates. Secure vessel space well in advance during peak export periods (September-October) to avoid congestion and capacity shortages. Additionally, monitor weather conditions and adjust cut-off times accordingly to mitigate disruptions during these critical seasons.

Moving perishable goods successfully demands 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 Fast transit service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods can in many cases 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 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 correct handling 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 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 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 food must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, We recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires strict temperature control during transit to maintain quality. It is essential to use insulated packaging and dry ice or gel packs for frozen items. Proper labeling indicating the temperature requirements is also necessary to ensure proper handling during air freight.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Thai and Peruvian regulations, including obtaining export permits from Thai authorities and import permits from Peruvian customs. Additionally, health certificates may be required to verify the safety and quality of food products being shipped.
