When shipping from Bangkok to Monterrey, anticipate disruptions during the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-November) and the Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November). Add buffer days to schedules to accommodate potential delays from heavy rainfall and port congestion. Work closely with carriers for real-time updates, especially during peak periods like the Asia-Europe export peak (August-November) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December), as space becomes limited. Consider potential delays due to holiday periods, such as Lunar New Year (January-February) and Eid al Fitr (March-June), by securing bookings well in advance.

Shipping fresh produce successfully demands a continuous cold chain.

Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, Frozen food can often 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. Most experts recommend 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 Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and frozen food. Most shippers should 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 Chilled 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 produce 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, 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 kept at specific temperature controls during air freight to prevent spoilage. This includes using refrigerated containers for fresh produce and maintaining a consistent frozen state for frozen food. Proper packaging is essential to ensure insulation and to prevent temperature fluctuations during transit.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with both Thai export regulations and Mexican import regulations.
