When shipping from Haiphong, Vietnam to Suape, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-September) and Brazil's wet season (October-March). Build in extra buffer days to schedules to mitigate port congestion and coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates during heavy rainfall periods. Secure vessel space and equipment well in advance, especially during peak export seasons (July-October, January-May), to avoid tight transshipment connections and navigate potential disruptions from cyclones and flooding (November-April).

Moving Fresh food successfully Requires 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 expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods can Usually be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines Set 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods. 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 adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most refrigerated food 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 Confirm 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 food and Frozen food in the same load, but only if your container or vehicle can maintain separate temperature zones. Fresh produce 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 in temperature-controlled containers to maintain the required refrigeration or freezing conditions throughout the ocean journey. Proper insulation and monitoring systems are essential to prevent spoilage during the 15,676 km route.
Exporting fresh and frozen food from Vietnam to Brazil requires compliance with both Vietnamese and Brazilian food safety regulations, including obtaining necessary export permits, health certifications, and adhering to packaging standards to ensure the products meet Brazilian import regulations.
