The ocean route from Incheon to Manaus presents significant advantages for transporting fresh produce and frozen food. This journey allows for the maintenance of optimal temperatures, crucial for preserving the quality of chilled and refrigerated items during transit. Additionally, the extensive shipping capabilities ensure that large quantities of perishables can be moved efficiently, meeting the demands of both markets effectively. The route's reliability also supports consistent supply chains, vital for maintaining freshness upon arrival.

Shipping perishable goods successfully necessitates 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 Fast transit service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
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. 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 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 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 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 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 Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food require temperature-controlled containers to maintain the necessary conditions throughout the journey. It is essential to monitor and regulate the temperature during loading, transit, and unloading to prevent spoilage. Proper insulation and the use of refrigerants are also critical in maintaining the integrity of the products.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both South Korean export regulations and Brazilian import regulations, including obtaining necessary health certificates and ensuring products meet Brazil's food safety standards. Additionally, specific documentation such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and customs declarations must be accurately prepared and submitted to facilitate customs clearance in both countries.
