When shipping from Callao, Peru to Salvador, Brazil, consider the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) by scheduling sailings outside peak storm activity (August-October) and allowing buffer days for potential delays. Additionally, expect congestion during the South America fruit export peak (January-May and September-December) and the soy export peak (February-June); secure bookings well in advance and build in extra dwell time. Finally, be mindful of the Brazil Wet Season (October-March), which may cause localized flooding and delays, necessitating flexible routing and additional buffer days.

Shipping fresh produce successfully Requires 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 expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, Frozen food 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. 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 Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and Frozen goods. 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 food 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 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 Fresh produce 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.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at specific temperature ranges throughout the shipping process to maintain quality. Reefer containers are essential for this route, and proper insulation should be ensured to prevent temperature fluctuations during transit.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food between Peru and Brazil must comply with both countries' health and safety regulations.
