The ocean route from Haiphong to Newark is ideal for transporting fresh produce and chilled food, ensuring optimal conditions for perishable items. Utilizing refrigerated containers helps maintain the integrity of temperature-sensitive goods, which is critical for preserving quality during transit. Additionally, the extensive shipping network facilitates efficient handling, allowing for a smooth flow of fresh and frozen food products to the U.S. market. This route also benefits from cost-effectiveness, making it a viable option for bulk shipments.
Haiphong's port infrastructure is equipped with modern facilities designed to handle refrigerated cargo, ensuring that fresh and frozen goods are loaded and unloaded efficiently. The port features advanced cold storage capabilities that support the preservation of temperature-sensitive items before they embark on their journey. Upon arrival in Newark, the extensive logistics network, including distribution centers and refrigerated warehouses, allows for seamless processing and delivery of fresh food products to retailers and consumers. Both locations prioritize maintaining the cold chain, which is essential for safeguarding the quality of perishable shipments.

When shipping from Haiphong, Vietnam to Newark, United States, anticipate significant delays due to the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-September) and the Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November). Add buffer days to your schedules and confirm vessel space well in advance, especially during peak periods like the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and the back-to-school demand peak (late July-September). Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates, as weather-related disruptions can impact transit times and delivery commitments significantly.

Shipping fresh produce successfully demands 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 time‑definite 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 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. 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 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 Reefer cargo. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that adequate insulation 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 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 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, We recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at specific temperature ranges throughout the journey to maintain quality. This includes using refrigerated containers equipped with proper temperature controls and monitoring systems to ensure compliance with food safety standards. Additionally, proper ventilation and humidity control are essential to prevent spoilage during transit.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including prior notice requirements and adherence to specific food safety standards. Additionally, proper documentation must be provided, such as import permits, health certificates, and customs declarations, to ensure smooth clearance at Newark.
