When shipping from Nansha, China to Vitoria, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and typhoon season (June-November). Allow for extra buffer days in your transit schedules to account for potential port congestion and weather disruptions. Book vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and the Brazilian wet season (October-March) to avoid rollovers. Stay updated on weather forecasts and adjust cut-off times accordingly to mitigate risks associated with seasonal flooding and cyclones (November-April).

Shipping perishable goods successfully necessitates 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 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. 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 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 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 temperature-controlled shipment 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 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 Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain quality. Proper insulation and refrigeration systems are essential to prevent spoilage during the 17307 km ocean journey. Additionally, regular monitoring of temperature is necessary to ensure compliance with food safety standards.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations. Documentation must include health certificates, phytosanitary certificates, and compliance with Brazilian ANVISA regulations for food safety. Customs clearance processes must also be adhered to at both ports.
