Be mindful of the Brazilian wet season (October-March), as heavy rainfall may cause localized flooding and delays; allow for extra buffer days in your schedules. During peak fruit export periods (January-May, September-December), prepare for tight vessel space and longer terminal dwell times, necessitating early bookings and flexible cut-off times. Additionally, monitor potential disruptions from South Atlantic cyclones (November-April) and adjust your routing plans accordingly to avoid delays.

Shipping perishable goods successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated 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 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 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 reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and frozen food. We 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 correct handling 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 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 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 goods must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, best practice is separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at the appropriate temperatures during air freight to prevent spoilage. This requires the use of temperature-controlled containers and monitoring equipment throughout the journey. Additionally, the cargo should be loaded and unloaded quickly to minimize exposure to ambient temperatures.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food from Brazil to Peru must comply with both countries' health and safety regulations. This includes obtaining necessary phytosanitary certificates from Brazilian authorities and ensuring that all food products meet Peruvian import standards. Proper documentation must accompany the shipment to facilitate customs clearance.
