During the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November), build in buffer days to accommodate potential port closures and speed reductions. Expect heavy rainfall in Brazil's Wet Season (October-March), necessitating additional transit time and waterproof measures. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance during peak retail periods (November-December) to avoid congestion and delays. Monitor weather forecasts and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate risks associated with cyclones and flooding.

Transporting Fresh food successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers 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 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. Our compliance team recommends 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 food. Insurance specialists generally 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 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, We recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires temperature-controlled containers, often referred to as reefer containers, to maintain required temperatures throughout the journey. Proper loading and securing of the cargo are crucial to prevent spoilage and damage during transit.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both South Korean export regulations and Brazilian import regulations, including health and safety certifications, phytosanitary certificates for agricultural products, and adherence to Brazilian standards for food safety.
