When shipping from Memphis to Taipei, anticipate potential disruptions due to North America winter storms (December-March) and the East Asia rainy season (May-October). Incorporate additional buffer days for transit times, especially during peak periods like Black Friday and Cyber Monday (November 20-December 5) and the back-to-school surge (late July-September). Confirm bookings well in advance to avoid capacity issues, and work with carriers for real-time updates on weather and congestion impacts.

Transporting perishable goods successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use cooler boxes with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for frozen goods, 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 goods can in many cases 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. Most experts recommend 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 chilled food and frozen food. Most shippers should 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 correct handling was used before honoring claims.
Most chilled beverages 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 verify 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 chilled 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 temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires strict temperature control throughout the air freight process. It is essential to use insulated packaging and temperature monitoring devices to ensure products remain within safe temperature ranges during transport. Additionally, proper loading techniques must be employed to prevent temperature fluctuations.
Regulatory requirements include obtaining necessary import permits from Taiwan's Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine (BAPHIQ) for fresh produce and frozen food. Additionally, products must comply with Taiwan's food safety standards, including proper labeling and documentation to ensure traceability and safety during customs clearance.
