When shipping from Laem Chabang, Thailand to Itapoa, Brazil, account for the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-November) by adding buffer days to schedules and enhancing cargo securing standards. During Brazil's wet season (October-March), anticipate heavier rainfall and port congestion, necessitating waterproof coverings and flexible pickup windows. Additionally, prepare for potential delays during the South Atlantic cyclone risk period (November-April) by building in extra transit time and monitoring weather forecasts closely. Finally, secure vessel space well in advance during peak export seasons (January-May, September-December) to mitigate rollover risks.

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 time‑definite service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
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, 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 temperatures throughout the journey, ensuring product quality and safety. Special care should be taken during loading and unloading to minimize temperature fluctuations.
Shipping Fresh & Frozen Food requires specific documentation including a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, health certificates, and any necessary import permits as stipulated by Brazilian customs regulations. Compliance with both Thai export and Brazilian import regulations is essential.
