When shipping from Dalian to Taipei, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in additional buffer days for port operations and secure flexible routing options to mitigate weather disruptions. Avoid critical cut-off times during the Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February) to reduce congestion risks. Stay updated on vessel schedules and evaluate alternative ports to ensure timely deliveries throughout these peak periods.

Moving fresh produce successfully demands 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 have 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 fresh food and Frozen goods. 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 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 verify 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. Fresh produce 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.
When shipping fresh and frozen food via ocean freight from Dalian to Taipei, it is crucial to maintain appropriate temperature control throughout the journey. This includes using refrigerated containers for chilled items and ensuring that frozen products remain at sub-zero temperatures. Additionally, proper packaging is necessary to prevent contamination and spoilage during transit.
Shipping fresh and frozen food from Dalian to Taipei requires compliance with both Chinese and Taiwanese regulations, including obtaining necessary import permits and adhering to food safety standards. Exporters must ensure that all products are properly documented, including health certificates and phytosanitary certificates, to facilitate customs clearance at both the departure and arrival ports.
