Plan for potential delays due to North America winter storms (December-March), and build in extra buffer days in transit commitments. During the back-to-school peak (late July-September), secure capacity early to avoid tight trucking availability. Additionally, anticipate increased congestion during the holiday retail surge (mid-November to early December), so prioritize shipments ahead of peak demand periods. Maintain communication with carriers for real-time updates and flexible routing options throughout these critical seasons.

Moving Fresh food 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 food can Usually 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 Perishable goods 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 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 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported under strict temperature controls to ensure product quality. It is crucial to use refrigerated containers for chilled goods and frozen containers for items that require freezing. Additionally, proper packaging is essential to prevent spoilage during the flight.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food are subject to specific USDA and FDA regulations, as well as Peruvian customs regulations. Import permits, sanitary certificates, and compliance with food safety standards are required to clear customs in Peru.
