When shipping from Foshan, China to Vitoria, Brazil, secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance, especially during peak seasons like the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December). Anticipate port congestion and longer dwell times during these periods, so allow for extra buffer days in your transit plans. Additionally, communicate closely with local agents to manage potential disruptions from the Brazil wet season (October-March) and the South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April) to ensure timely deliveries.

Shipping perishable goods successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use cooler boxes with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a time‑definite 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 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. Most experts 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 Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and frozen food. Most shippers should 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 Proper packaging 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 verify 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, We recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh & Frozen Food requires strict temperature control throughout the journey to maintain quality. It is essential to use refrigerated containers to ensure that the products remain within the specified temperature range during ocean transport. Proper loading and unloading procedures must be followed to minimize exposure to ambient temperatures.
Shipping Fresh & Frozen Food from China to Brazil requires compliance with both countries' food safety regulations. Export documentation from China must include health certificates, while Brazil mandates import permits and sanitary inspections. It is crucial to ensure all documentation is complete and accurate to avoid customs delays.
