When shipping from Incheon, South Korea to Salvador, Brazil, prepare for significant delays due to the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) and Brazilian Wet Season (October-March). Build in extra buffer days to your transit times, especially during peak rainfall months (November-February) and typhoon activity (August-October). Secure vessel space and equipment well in advance, particularly around the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and holiday periods (December-January), to mitigate congestion risks. Monitor weather conditions and adjust cut-off times accordingly to ensure timely deliveries.

Transporting Fresh food 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 Fast transit 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 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 restrict 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 Reefer cargo. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most chilled beverages 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 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 chilled 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, We recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh & Frozen Food requires strict temperature control during air freight to maintain quality. The cargo must be packed in insulated containers with refrigerants or dry ice for frozen items, ensuring compliance with temperature regulations throughout the journey.
Shipping Fresh & Frozen Food from South Korea to Brazil requires compliance with both countries' food safety standards. Import permits, health certifications, and phytosanitary certificates may be necessary, along with adherence to Brazilian customs regulations regarding food imports.
