When shipping from Dalian, China to Suape, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Brazil's Wet Season (October-March). Allow for extra buffer days for port operations and confirm waterproof coverings during peak rainfall (June-September). Avoid the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) by scheduling shipments at least two weeks in advance. Additionally, stay updated on cyclone risks in the South Atlantic (November-April) to adjust routing as necessary.

Moving perishable goods successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated 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 in many cases 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 reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may limit coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and frozen food. We recommend arranging a policy that specifically covers temperature deviation and spoilage, and declaring the full value of your refrigerated food shipment. 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 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 fresh 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 Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain the required conditions throughout the journey. It is essential to ensure that the refrigeration units are functioning properly and that the cargo is loaded in a way that allows for adequate airflow to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food from China to Brazil must comply with both countries' food safety regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certificates, ensuring products meet Brazilian sanitary standards, and providing detailed documentation for customs clearance, including invoices and packing lists.
