The ocean route from Foshan to Paranagua is ideal for transporting fresh produce and chilled food due to its capacity for large shipments and ability to maintain temperature-controlled environments. This journey ensures that perishable items remain in optimal condition, minimizing spoilage and waste. Furthermore, the extensive maritime logistics network supports efficient handling and distribution, making it a reliable choice for businesses focused on quality delivery of frozen food and other refrigerated products.
Foshan boasts advanced logistics infrastructure with state-of-the-art cold storage facilities and efficient transportation links, enabling seamless loading and unloading of chilled and frozen goods.

This combination of robust infrastructure at both ends enhances the overall efficiency and reliability of the supply chain for fresh and frozen food products.
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 must adhere to Brazilian customs valuation rules and often need prior licensing for controlled goods.

When shipping from Foshan, China to Paranagua, Brazil, book vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance during critical periods such as the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and the Brazilian wet season (October-March). Anticipate terminal congestion and longer dwell times during these seasons, so build in extra buffer days in your transit plans. Coordinate closely with local agents to manage potential delays and ensure timely customs clearance, particularly around peak export seasons (February-June and January-May).

Transporting perishable goods 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 temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods can in many cases 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled 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 chilled beverages 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 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 chilled food and frozen goods 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported under strict temperature controls to maintain quality. This includes using refrigerated containers for chilled items and ensuring frozen products are kept at or below -18°C throughout the journey. Proper insulation and regular monitoring are essential to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certificates, ensuring products meet Brazilian sanitary standards, and providing detailed documentation such as invoices, packing lists, and bills of lading.
