Anticipate increased congestion and tighter capacity during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and soy export peak (February-June), as booking options may become limited. Incorporate extra buffer days to account for potential delays due to Brazil's wet season (October-March) and South Atlantic cyclone risks (November-April). Secure your bookings and equipment well in advance to avoid rollovers, especially during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and Black Friday surge (mid-November to early December).

Transporting fresh produce successfully necessitates 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 Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can often 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. 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 fresh food and frozen food. 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 check 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be maintained at specific temperature ranges during transport. This requires the use of temperature-controlled containers and monitoring equipment to ensure compliance with refrigeration and freezing standards throughout the journey.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including proper documentation such as a prior notice of imported food and adherence to safety inspections. Additionally, the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture may require export certifications for food safety and quality.
