When shipping from Callao, Peru to New York, be mindful of hurricane activity (June-November), as it can cause delays and require flexible routing. Expect tight vessel space during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and the soy export peak (February-June), necessitating early bookings. Additionally, account for congestion during the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December), which may impact delivery schedules.

Transporting fresh produce successfully Requires 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 expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods can often be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines Set 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 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 adequate insulation 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 Confirm 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.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at appropriate temperatures throughout the shipping process, requiring specialized refrigerated containers. It is essential to monitor and maintain temperature controls during transit to prevent spoilage and ensure product quality.
Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary health certificates or permits to comply with U.S. regulatory requirements for importing food products.
