Comparative analysis of origin and destination capabilities.
Shippers typically route ocean cargo through nearby deep sea ports such as Guangzhou Nansha, so shipping instructions must specify the actual loading port rather than Foshan itself
Imports are subject to Brazilian customs clearance procedures, including correct HS/NCM coding and payment of applicable duties and taxes.

When shipping from Foshan, China to Navegantes, Brazil, book vessel space and inland transport capacity well in advance during peak periods, such as the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December). Anticipate extended transit times due to congestion and weather-related disruptions, particularly during the Brazil wet season (October-March) and peak typhoon activity (June-November). Allow for extra buffer days to accommodate potential delays and communicate closely with local agents to manage logistics effectively.

Moving 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 food, 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 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 limit 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 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 temperature-controlled shipment 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 food must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, We recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires temperature-controlled containers to maintain appropriate conditions during transit. It is crucial to ensure that refrigerated and frozen goods are kept at their required temperatures throughout the journey to prevent spoilage.
Shipping fresh and frozen food from China to Brazil requires compliance with both countries' food safety regulations. Necessary documentation includes health certificates, import permits, and customs declarations. Additionally, products must adhere to Brazilian sanitary regulations to ensure they are safe for consumption.
