When shipping from Nansha, China to Callao, Peru, anticipate delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Allow for additional buffer days for port operations and book vessel space well in advance, especially around the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February). Plan for increased congestion and longer transit times during peak export seasons (July-October, September-December), and coordinate closely with carriers to manage schedules effectively.

Shipping perishable goods successfully necessitates 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 Fast transit service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, Frozen food can in many cases be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines impose 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 chilled 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 correct handling 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 check 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. Chilled food 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 and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain the required temperature for each product type. It is essential to ensure that the refrigeration units are functioning properly and monitored throughout the journey to prevent spoilage or thawing.
Documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any required health certificates or phytosanitary certificates for food products. Compliance with Peru's import regulations, including customs declarations and food safety standards, is also necessary to ensure smooth clearance at Callao.
It means every move we make by land, air, or sea is guided by purpose, careful planning, decisive action, and precise, attentive execution.
