The route from Honolulu to Callao is particularly advantageous for transporting fresh produce and frozen food due to the extensive maritime network that supports temperature-controlled shipping. This journey allows for the efficient movement of chilled and refrigerated items while maintaining product integrity over long distances. Additionally, the oceanic route minimizes exposure to fluctuating temperatures, ensuring that quality is preserved throughout the journey.
Both Honolulu and Callao boast well-equipped port facilities that cater to the needs of the food logistics industry. Honolulu's harbor features specialized cold storage facilities, ensuring that fresh food can be promptly loaded and unloaded with minimal risk of spoilage. Likewise, Callao's infrastructure includes advanced refrigeration units and handling equipment, enabling efficient distribution of chilled and frozen items once they arrive at the port.

When shipping from Honolulu to Callao, be mindful of the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) and expect potential delays due to severe weather, especially during peak storm months (August-October). Plan for extended transit times and secure vessel space well in advance, particularly during peak export seasons (July-October and January-May). Avoid tight connections and allow for buffer days to accommodate port congestion and weather disruptions. Additionally, increase visibility on inland transport and ensure all documentation is prepared early to reduce delays.

Shipping perishable goods 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 expedited 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 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 chilled food and Frozen goods. 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 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 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. Fresh produce 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 control during ocean freight to maintain quality and safety. Refrigerated containers must be used to ensure that chilled items remain at appropriate temperatures, while frozen food should be transported in containers that can maintain sub-zero temperatures throughout the journey.
Shipping fresh and frozen food from the United States to Peru requires compliance with both U.S. and Peruvian food safety regulations. This includes obtaining necessary permits, ensuring products meet sanitary standards, and providing documentation such as health certificates and import permits to facilitate customs clearance in Peru.
