When shipping from Confins, Brazil to Mexico City, anticipate significant delays due to the Brazil Wet Season (October-March) and South Atlantic Cyclone Risk (November-April). Build in extra buffer days in your schedules to account for potential disruptions, especially during peak rainfall months (December-February). Confirm vessel space and inland transport capacity well in advance during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) to avoid congestion. Additionally, monitor carriers for dynamic routing options to mitigate delays from weather-related issues and increased demand during these critical periods.

Moving Fresh food successfully necessitates 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 time‑definite service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, Frozen food 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. 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods 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 Proper packaging was used before honoring claims.
Most refrigerated 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 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 fresh 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 Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at specific temperature ranges during air freight to ensure product integrity. It is essential to use insulated packaging and temperature-controlled containers to maintain the required conditions throughout the journey.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food from Brazil to Mexico must comply with both countries' food safety regulations. This includes obtaining necessary permits, adhering to sanitary and phytosanitary standards, and providing proper documentation such as health certificates and import permits to facilitate customs clearance.
