Expect increased congestion and longer transit times during Brazil's wet season (October-March) and the South Atlantic cyclone risk period (November-April); build in extra buffer days in your schedules. Lock in vessel space and equipment well in advance during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June) to mitigate tight capacity. Monitor carriers for potential delays around the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5) to ensure timely deliveries.

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 goods, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a Fast transit service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
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. 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 adequate insulation 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 Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be maintained at specific temperature ranges during transit to prevent spoilage. This typically requires refrigerated containers or specialized packaging to ensure temperature control throughout the flight. Additionally, proper loading procedures are essential to minimize exposure to ambient temperatures.
Exporting fresh and frozen food from Brazil to China requires compliance with both countries' regulatory standards. This includes obtaining necessary health and safety certifications, ensuring proper documentation such as phytosanitary certificates, and adhering to China's import restrictions on certain food products.
