When shipping from Guangzhou, China to Natal, Brazil, consider the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March). Build in extra buffer days for potential delays due to heavy rainfall and port congestion, especially during peak rains (June-September and November-February). Arrange vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance of critical periods like Golden Week (October 1-7) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid rollovers. Stay updated on carriers for real-time schedule changes, particularly during high-demand periods and adverse weather conditions.

Transporting Fresh food successfully demands 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 Fast transit service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can Usually 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 Frozen food at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods. 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 beverages should stay between 0–4°C, while many Frozen food 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 food 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, We 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 environments to maintain quality. Proper insulation and refrigeration systems are essential during air transport to prevent spoilage or thawing. Additionally, packaging must be robust to withstand handling and ensure food safety.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food from Guangzhou to Natal must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certificates, adhering to food safety standards, and ensuring proper documentation such as invoices and packing lists to facilitate customs clearance.
