When shipping from Kaohsiung, Taiwan to Montevideo, Uruguay, anticipate typhoon season disruptions (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative routing options. Plan for increased port congestion during the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and the South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April), which may affect transit times. Additionally, confirm vessel space well in advance of the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid tight capacity and potential rollovers. Stay updated on weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate delays.

Moving 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 expedited 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 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 limit 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 refrigerated food 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 check requirements for each item and specify the target range on booking instructions and labels so your temperature-controlled shipment is set correctly.
You can sometimes mix fresh food and frozen goods 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 food 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh & Frozen Food requires temperature-controlled containers to maintain the integrity of products during the 18607 km ocean journey. Proper insulation and refrigeration systems are essential to prevent spoilage, especially for perishable items.
Shipments of Fresh & Frozen Food from Taiwan to Uruguay must comply with both Taiwanese export regulations and Uruguayan import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certifications, adhering to food safety standards, and providing accurate documentation to customs authorities in both countries.
