Consider the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) and anticipate heavy rainfall and port congestion, adding buffer days to schedules. During the Brazil Wet Season (October-March), prepare for increased rainfall and localized flooding, which may disrupt schedules and require waterproof coverings. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance during the Asia-Europe export peak (August-November) to mitigate tight capacity and potential delays. Communicate with carriers for real-time updates to navigate these seasonal challenges effectively.

Transporting Fresh food 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 expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can Usually 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods 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 adequate insulation 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 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 chilled food and Frozen food 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled environments to maintain product quality. Proper insulation and refrigeration systems are essential to prevent spoilage during the air freight journey, given the distance of 15,590 km.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with Brazilian health regulations, including obtaining necessary import permits and health certificates from Thai authorities. Additionally, products must meet specific sanitary standards set by Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply.
