When shipping from Nagoya, Japan to Salvador, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to East Asia's rainy season (May-November). Build in extra buffer days for port operations and secure vessel space well in advance, especially during peak periods like Lunar New Year (late April–early May, late January–mid-February). In Brazil, expect heavy rainfall and localized flooding during the wet season (October-March), necessitating sealed containers and flexible routing options. Adjust schedules closely to mitigate the impact of cyclones (November-April).

Shipping Fresh food successfully Requires a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for frozen goods, 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 Usually be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines Set 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 Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods. 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 correct handling was used before honoring claims.
Most Chilled food should stay between 0–4°C, while many Frozen food products must remain at −18°C or colder. Exact ranges depend on the product type and local regulations. Always Confirm 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 Fresh produce and Frozen food 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 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.
When shipping fresh and frozen food via ocean freight from Nagoya to Salvador, it is essential to maintain appropriate temperature controls throughout the journey. This includes using refrigerated containers that can sustain specific temperature ranges for chilled and frozen products to prevent spoilage. Additionally, proper packaging must be employed to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
Fresh and frozen food shipments from Japan to Brazil must comply with both countries' import and export regulations.

Compliance with Brazilian sanitary regulations is crucial to avoid delays or rejections upon arrival.
