Prepare for potential delays due to the Brazilian wet season (October-March), including localized flooding. Add extra buffer days to schedules and secure vessel space well in advance, especially during peak periods like the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and South America fruit export peak (January-May). Monitor draft restrictions and barge availability during high-water months (June-September) to avoid disruptions. Coordinate with carriers to adjust cut-off times and manage delivery commitments effectively throughout these critical periods.

Transporting fresh produce successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a time‑definite service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods 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. 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 fresh food and frozen food. 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 Proper packaging was used before honoring claims.
Most chilled beverages 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 Reefer cargo is set correctly.
You can sometimes mix chilled 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 goods must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, We recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires strict temperature control during air transport to maintain quality. It is essential to use insulated packaging and refrigerants to ensure products remain within required temperature ranges throughout the journey.
Yes, shipping fresh and frozen food within Brazil requires compliance with ANVISA regulations, including proper documentation and health certifications to ensure food safety standards are met.
