The air route from Guangzhou to Mexico City is ideal for transporting fresh produce and chilled food due to its speed and efficiency. This direct connection ensures that perishable items maintain their quality and freshness during transit. Additionally, the use of temperature-controlled air freight minimizes the risk of spoilage, making it a reliable choice for suppliers looking to meet the demands of the market. The ability to quickly deliver refrigerated and frozen food products allows for better inventory management and customer satisfaction.
Guangzhou's modern airport facilities are equipped with advanced cold chain logistics systems, ensuring that fresh and frozen goods are handled with care from departure to arrival.

When shipping from Guangzhou to Mexico City via air, expect potential delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Include buffer days for port operations and confirm waterproof coverings for cargo during peak rainfall (June-September). Additionally, plan for capacity constraints around the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and the Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February) by locking in bookings well in advance. Monitor weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate disruptions.

Transporting perishable goods successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated 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 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. Our compliance team recommends 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 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 refrigerated food shipment. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that Proper packaging 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. Chilled food 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 Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh & Frozen Food must be kept at specific temperature ranges during transport. It is crucial to use temperature-controlled containers to maintain the integrity of chilled and frozen products throughout the air freight journey. Additionally, proper packaging is necessary to prevent spoilage and contamination.
Shipments of Fresh & Frozen Food from Guangzhou to Mexico City must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Mexican import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certificates, ensuring compliance with food safety standards, and providing proper documentation for customs clearance.
