When shipping from Mombasa, Kenya to Teoloyucan, Mexico, account for potential delays due to the East Africa long rains (March-May) and short rains (October-December), which can cause port congestion and road washouts. Add buffer days to transit times and confirm inland haulage availability. During the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December), secure flexible ETAs and prioritize carriers with contingency plans. Additionally, anticipate reduced operations during Ramadan and Eid holidays (late March-June), and plan critical shipments to avoid these periods.

Shipping fresh produce successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated 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 Reefer cargo.
Yes, Frozen food can often 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. Our compliance team recommends checking carrier and destination rules in advance and combining dry ice with insulated packaging to keep reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and Frozen goods. Insurance specialists generally recommend arranging a policy that specifically covers temperature deviation and spoilage, and declaring the full value of your refrigerated food shipment. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most Chilled 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 produce and frozen goods in the same load, but only if your container or vehicle can maintain separate temperature zones. Fresh produce 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain the appropriate environment. It's essential to ensure that refrigerated units are functioning correctly throughout the journey to prevent spoilage.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with food safety standards set by both Kenyan and Mexican authorities. This often involves obtaining health certificates, adhering to import regulations, and ensuring proper documentation for customs clearance at both ports.
