When shipping from Busan, South Korea to Port Klang, Malaysia, expect significant disruptions during the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) and the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October). Add buffer days to account for potential delays due to typhoons and heavy rainfall. Secure vessel space well in advance during peak periods like Chuseok and Golden Week (late September-early October) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion. Coordinate closely with local agents to confirm operational hours and adjust cut-off times as needed throughout these critical periods.

Transporting perishable goods 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 Fast transit service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can in many cases 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 chilled food 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 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. 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 Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
When shipping fresh and frozen food from Busan to Port Klang, it is crucial to maintain appropriate temperature controls throughout the journey to ensure product quality. Refrigerated containers should be used for chilled items, while frozen goods must be transported in specialized freezer containers. Additionally, proper ventilation is necessary to prevent spoilage, and regular monitoring of temperature is recommended during transit.
Regulatory requirements for shipping fresh and frozen food from South Korea to Malaysia include obtaining necessary health certificates and import permits. The products must comply with Malaysian Food Safety Regulations, which may involve inspections at the port of entry. It is also important to ensure that the food products are labeled according to Malaysian standards, including details on ingredients, expiration dates, and storage instructions.
