When shipping from Foshan, China to Laem Chabang, Thailand, secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance, especially before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and during the peak export season (July-October). Anticipate terminal congestion and slower cargo handling around holidays, so allow for extra buffer days in your schedules (January-March). Additionally, communicate closely with local agents for container pick-up during holiday periods (late-January to mid-February) to avoid delays. Monitor cut-off times and consider flexible routing options during the rainy season (May-October) to mitigate weather-related disruptions.

Shipping perishable goods successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers 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 temperature-controlled freight.
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. Our compliance team recommends 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 Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and frozen food. Insurance specialists generally 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 Chilled 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 temperature-controlled shipment is set correctly.
You can sometimes mix Fresh produce 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 food 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 in temperature-controlled containers to maintain appropriate conditions. It is essential to monitor temperature throughout the journey to prevent spoilage. Additionally, proper loading techniques should be employed to minimize movement and ensure the integrity of the cargo.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Thai import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certificates, phytosanitary certificates for fresh produce, and ensuring that all products meet the standards set by the Thai Food and Drug Administration. Proper documentation must accompany the shipment to facilitate smooth customs clearance at Laem Chabang.
