When shipping from Confins, Brazil to Denver, United States, prepare for significant delays due to the Brazil Wet Season (October-March) and the South Atlantic Cyclone Risk (November-April). Add extra buffer days to your schedules, especially during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June). Confirm vessel space and inland transport well in advance to avoid congestion and monitor weather forecasts closely. Adjust delivery commitments to account for potential disruptions during the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5) and North America Winter Storms (December-March).

Transporting fresh produce successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging 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 goods can often 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. 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 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 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 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported under strict temperature controls to maintain quality. This includes using refrigerated containers for fresh produce and frozen food to ensure they remain within required temperature ranges throughout the journey.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Brazilian and U.S. regulations, including obtaining necessary permits, adhering to health and safety standards, and providing proper documentation such as phytosanitary certificates and import permits to facilitate customs clearance in the U.S.
