Prepare for increased congestion and longer transit times during Brazil's wet season (October-March) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December). Confirm vessel space and inland transport capacity at least 3-4 weeks in advance, especially during high-demand periods like Black Friday and Christmas (November-December). Build in buffer days in schedules to account for potential delays from weather disruptions and terminal congestion. Coordinate closely with carriers for updated cut-off times and flexible routing options to mitigate risks associated with seasonal fluctuations.

Moving Fresh food successfully necessitates 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 goods 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. 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and frozen food. 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 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 temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be maintained at specific temperature ranges during air transport to ensure product integrity. Temperature-controlled containers are essential, and monitoring systems should be in place to track conditions throughout the journey.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Brazilian and Mexican health regulations, including obtaining the necessary phytosanitary and health certificates. Import permits may also be required, and customs documentation must accurately reflect the nature of the goods being transported.
