When shipping from Kaohsiung, Taiwan to Fortaleza, Brazil, account for the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) and the Brazil Wet Season (October-March). Add buffer days to your schedules to accommodate potential delays from typhoons and heavy rainfall. Arrange vessel space and equipment at least 3-4 weeks in advance during peak export periods (January-May, September-December) to mitigate congestion risks. Expect extended transit times and coordinate with carriers for updated cut-off times during these critical seasons.

Transporting fresh produce successfully necessitates 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 time‑definite service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
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. 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 fresh food and frozen food. 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 Proper packaging 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 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 chilled 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, We recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain the required storage temperatures. The containers should be equipped with reliable refrigeration systems to ensure that chilled and frozen foods remain at optimal temperatures throughout the journey. Proper loading and securing techniques are essential to prevent damage and maintain the integrity of the products.
Shipping fresh and frozen food from Taiwan to Brazil requires compliance with both countries' food safety regulations. Import permits, sanitary certificates, and specific documentation regarding the origin and handling of the food products must be provided. It is crucial to ensure that all products meet Brazilian health and safety standards to avoid customs issues upon arrival in Fortaleza.
