When shipping from Itapoa, Brazil to Teoloyucan, Mexico, consider the Brazilian wet season (October-March), which may cause localized flooding and delays. Add buffer days to schedules and secure vessel space well in advance, especially during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June). Stay updated on South Atlantic cyclone risks (November-April) and plan for potential diversions. Additionally, be mindful of congestion during the Western New Year period (December 20-January 5) and adjust delivery commitments accordingly.

Moving fresh produce successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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 Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can often 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 reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may limit coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and frozen food. 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 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 food 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, best practice is separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires strict temperature control during transit to maintain quality. Itapoa has facilities equipped for cold storage, and proper refrigeration must be maintained throughout the journey to prevent spoilage. Additionally, packaging must be suitable for ocean transport to withstand humidity and temperature fluctuations.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Brazilian and Mexican food safety regulations. This includes obtaining necessary phytosanitary and health certificates, as well as ensuring compliance with the Mexican regulations on food imports to prevent the introduction of pests and diseases. Proper documentation must be prepared for customs clearance at both ports.
