Anticipate potential delays due to Brazil's wet season (October-March), including heavy rainfall and longer transit times. Secure air cargo space well in advance during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June) to avoid booking competition.

Shipping fresh produce 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 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 reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may Exclude 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 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh & Frozen Food requires temperature-controlled environments throughout the shipping process. It is crucial to maintain proper refrigeration for fresh produce and frozen food to prevent spoilage. Packaging must be designed to withstand air transport and protect the product from temperature fluctuations.
Shipping Fresh & Frozen Food from Brazil to the United States requires compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including proper labeling and documentation. Import permits and phytosanitary certificates may be necessary for fresh produce, while frozen food must meet specific health and safety standards established by U.S. authorities.
