Prepare for reduced operations during key holiday periods such as Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha (March-July), adding at least 5-7 days of buffer time for transit and clearance. Expect potential delays due to the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and consider increased rainfall impacts on logistics. Additionally, book air cargo space well in advance during peak export seasons, particularly for South American fruit and soy (January-May, September-December), to mitigate congestion risks and ensure timely deliveries.

Transporting fresh produce successfully Requires a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated 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 often be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines Set 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 restrict 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 refrigerated food shipment. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most chilled beverages 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 Confirm 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 chilled 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, best practice is separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled environments to maintain quality and safety. It is essential to use appropriate packaging that can withstand air transport and ensure that temperature is consistently monitored throughout the journey.
Shipments of Fresh & Frozen Food require compliance with both UAE and Brazilian food safety regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certifications, import permits, and ensuring that all products meet the Brazilian sanitary standards for food imports.
