Reliable ocean transport with competitive pricing
Taiwan

The ocean route from Kaohsiung to Itapoa is strategically advantageous for transporting fresh produce and frozen food due to its expansive shipping lanes and established maritime networks. This route ensures optimal temperature control, essential for maintaining the quality of chilled and refrigerated items during transit. Additionally, the long-distance journey allows for efficient bulk shipping, reducing per-unit shipping costs while ensuring that perishable goods arrive in excellent condition.
Kaohsiung boasts a modern port equipped with advanced cold storage facilities and handling equipment specifically designed for fresh and frozen food. The infrastructure supports quick loading and unloading processes, minimizing exposure to temperature fluctuations. In Itapoa, the port is similarly equipped with specialized facilities to receive and distribute chilled products effectively, ensuring that the supply chain remains seamless and efficient from dock to delivery.

When shipping from Kaohsiung, Taiwan to Itapoa, Brazil, plan for potential disruptions due to the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) and Brazil's Wet Season (October-March). Build in buffer days to schedules to accommodate delays and weather-related disruptions. Arrange vessel space and equipment well in advance, especially during peak export seasons (January-May, September-December) and monitor weather forecasts for cyclones in the South Atlantic (November-April). Evaluate alternative routing options to mitigate risks associated with heavy rainfall and port closures.

Shipping fresh produce successfully demands 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 time‑definite service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, Frozen food can often 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 reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may Exclude 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 Proper packaging was used before honoring claims.
Most Chilled 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 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 Fresh produce 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 require temperature-controlled containers to maintain the integrity of the products during the 18,827 km ocean freight journey. Proper insulation, refrigeration, and monitoring systems are essential to ensure that products remain at the required temperatures throughout transit.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food from Taiwan to Brazil must comply with both Taiwanese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations, including sanitary and phytosanitary certificates.
