When shipping from Haiphong, Vietnam to Vitoria, Brazil, account for the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November) and the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March). Add extra buffer days to schedules to mitigate port congestion and weather-related delays. Utilize waterproof coverings and sealed containers to protect cargo during heavy rains (June-February). Secure vessel space at least 3-4 weeks in advance during peak export periods (July-October, January-May) to avoid tight capacity and ensure timely deliveries. Monitor weather forecasts and adjust routing plans as necessary to accommodate potential disruptions.

Moving perishable goods successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers 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 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. Our compliance team recommends 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and frozen food. Insurance specialists generally 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 correct handling was used before honoring claims.
Most refrigerated 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 food 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 requires strict temperature controls throughout the shipping process to maintain product integrity. It is essential to utilize refrigerated containers (reefers) to ensure that fresh produce and frozen items remain at appropriate temperatures during the ocean transit. Additionally, proper loading techniques should prevent damage and allow for adequate airflow within the containers.
Shipping fresh and frozen food from Vietnam to Brazil requires compliance with both countries' import/export regulations. Exporters must provide health certificates and phytosanitary certificates to ensure the products meet Brazilian food safety standards. Additionally, all shipments must comply with Brazilian customs regulations, which may include inspections and approvals from health authorities.
