When shipping from Mexico City to Taipei via ocean, anticipate significant disruptions due to the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Incorporate buffer days for potential port closures and slow steaming, especially during peak storm months (August-October). Additionally, confirm vessel space and inland transport capacity well in advance of the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) to avoid congestion and delays. Monitor weather conditions and adjust sailing schedules accordingly to mitigate risks associated with seasonal weather patterns.

Moving perishable goods successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a Fast transit 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 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 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. We 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 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 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, We recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain appropriate conditions during the journey. Special care should be taken to monitor and manage the temperature throughout the shipping process to prevent spoilage.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, health certificates, and any necessary import permits from Taiwanese authorities to ensure compliance with food safety regulations.
