When shipping from Jiangmen, China to Fortaleza, Brazil, expect significant delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Brazil's Wet Season (October-March). Add extra buffer days to account for port congestion and weather-related disruptions, particularly during peak rainfall months (June-September, November-February). Secure vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and the Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February) to avoid rollovers. Monitor weather forecasts and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate risks associated with South Atlantic cyclones (November-April).

Transporting perishable goods successfully Requires a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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 goods can in many cases be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines Set 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and Frozen goods. 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 adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most chilled beverages 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 Confirm 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 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires temperature-controlled containers to maintain appropriate cold chain conditions during transit. It is essential to monitor and manage the temperature throughout the journey to prevent spoilage and ensure food safety.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import requirements, including obtaining necessary health certifications, phytosanitary certificates, and ensuring that products meet Brazil's food safety standards.
