During peak fruit export periods (January-May, September-December), book vessel space at least 3-4 weeks in advance to avoid congestion. Additionally, prepare for increased demand during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5), which may lead to tighter schedules and longer transit times. Always keep an eye on service advisories for dynamic routing options.

Transporting Fresh food successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated 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 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 reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods 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 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. 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported under strict temperature controls to maintain quality. Proper insulation and refrigeration systems should be utilized during air freight to ensure that chilled and frozen goods remain at their required temperatures throughout the journey.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with both Ecuadorian export regulations and Brazilian import regulations, including health certifications and phytosanitary inspections. Documentation must include certificates of origin and any necessary permits to ensure the products meet the sanitary standards of Brazil.
