When shipping from Monterrey, Mexico to Xiamen, China, prepare for the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (May-November), which can lead to disruptions. Confirm vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance during peak periods like the Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February) to avoid capacity shortages. Additionally, expect weather-related delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) by building in flexible delivery windows.

Transporting perishable goods successfully demands 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 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. 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 restrict 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 adequate insulation 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 Reefer cargo 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 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 kept at appropriate temperatures throughout the air freight process to prevent spoilage. This includes using temperature-controlled containers and ensuring that all handling personnel are trained in perishable goods management.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with both Mexican export regulations and Chinese import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certificates, ensuring proper documentation for customs, and adhering to food safety standards set by Chinese authorities.
