When shipping from Bangkok to Omaha, anticipate significant delays due to the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-September) and the Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November). Build in buffer days to schedules and coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates, as severe storms can disrupt transit times. Additionally, confirm vessel space well in advance during peak export periods (August-December) to avoid capacity constraints. Account for potential delays around the Lunar New Year (January-February) and Eid holidays (March-June) when planning shipments.

Shipping Fresh food successfully Requires 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 expedited 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 Set 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 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 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 Confirm 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. 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 within specific temperature ranges throughout the air freight process to ensure product quality. Chilled food typically requires temperatures of 0-4°C, while frozen food should be maintained at -18°C or lower. Proper insulation and temperature monitoring during transit are crucial to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food are subject to strict U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including the requirement for prior notice before arrival. Additionally, food products must comply with USDA standards, which may include inspections and certifications for certain items, particularly for meats and poultry.
