When shipping from Mundra, India to Prince Rupert, Canada, prepare for significant delays during the southwest monsoon (June-September) due to port congestion and weather-related slow steaming; add extra buffer days and secure priority berthing where possible. During the northeast monsoon (November-March), expect rough seas and slower vessel speeds; schedule critical sailings to avoid peak periods. Additionally, consider potential disruptions from winter storms (December-March) and modify transit times accordingly to ensure timely deliveries.

Transporting 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 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. 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and Frozen goods. 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 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 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. Fresh produce 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 temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh & Frozen Food requires temperature-controlled containers to maintain the integrity of the products during transit. Proper insulation and refrigeration systems are crucial to prevent spoilage. Additionally, cargo must be loaded and unloaded promptly to minimize exposure to ambient temperatures.
Shipping Fresh & Frozen Food from India to Canada requires compliance with both Indian export regulations and Canadian import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary phytosanitary certificates, ensuring proper labeling, and adhering to food safety standards set by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
