When shipping from Bangkok to Xiaolan, consider the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-September) and anticipate heavy rainfall and port congestion, adding buffer days to schedules. During peak typhoon activity (June-November), build in flexible port windows to manage sudden closures. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance during the Asia-Europe export peak (August-November) to avoid tight capacity issues. Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates, especially during the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7), to mitigate delays and ensure timely deliveries.

Transporting Fresh food successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging 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 Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can Usually 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. We 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods. We 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 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 verify 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. Fresh produce typically needs temperatures above freezing, while Frozen goods 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.
It is crucial to maintain appropriate temperature controls throughout the shipping process to ensure the quality of fresh and frozen food. This includes using refrigerated containers for chilled items and ensuring that frozen goods remain at or below -18°C. Proper insulation and monitoring systems should be in place to prevent temperature fluctuations during the ocean transit.
Shipping fresh and frozen food requires compliance with both Thai and Chinese regulations, including obtaining necessary export permits from Thai authorities and adhering to Chinese import regulations. Importers in China must also provide documentation such as health certificates, phytosanitary certificates for plant products, and any specific certifications required for food safety.
