When shipping from Los Angeles to Taipei, be mindful of the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) and prepare for potential delays due to typhoons and winter storms (August-October). Lock in bookings early, especially during peak periods like Black Friday (mid-November to early December) and the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February), to avoid congestion and capacity issues. Allow for additional buffer days for transit times and adjust delivery commitments to account for seasonal disruptions (October-December).

Moving perishable goods 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 temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, Frozen food can in many cases 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 chilled 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 Reefer cargo 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 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 must be kept at appropriate temperatures throughout the entire air freight process to maintain quality and safety. This includes using refrigerated containers and ensuring quick transfer from ground transport to the aircraft.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food are subject to strict regulatory requirements, including compliance with Taiwan's food safety standards, import permits, and necessary health certifications. Documentation must include a phytosanitary certificate for plant products and a health certificate for animal products.
