Plan for extended transit times during the East Asia rainy season (May-October) due to heavy rainfall and potential flooding. Secure vessel space well in advance of the China Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) to avoid congestion and delays. Prepare for tighter capacity and longer booking lead times during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and soy export peak (February-June). Additionally, build in extra buffer days during the Brazilian wet season (October-March) to mitigate risks from localized flooding.

Shipping fresh produce 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 expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
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. 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 Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh 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 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 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 food 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 Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be properly packaged to maintain temperature control during transit, including the use of insulated containers and dry ice or gel packs for frozen items. It is essential to monitor temperature throughout the journey to ensure product integrity.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with Brazil's ANVISA regulations, including obtaining necessary import permits, health certificates, and phytosanitary certificates for plant-based products to ensure they meet Brazilian food safety standards.
