Account for the Brazilian wet season (October-March), as heavier rainfall can lead to localized flooding and extended transit times. Book vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance during peak fruit and soy export seasons (January-May, February-June) to avoid congestion. Expect delays due to coastal fog (May-September) and potential cyclone disruptions (November-April); build in buffer days for all shipments. Monitor carrier schedules closely, especially during high-demand periods like the Christmas retail peak (October-December).

Moving fresh produce successfully Requires a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated 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 often 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. We recommend checking carrier and destination rules in advance and combining dry ice with insulated packaging to keep reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may limit coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and Frozen goods. We recommend arranging a policy that specifically covers temperature deviation and spoilage, and declaring the full value of your refrigerated food shipment. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that correct handling was used before honoring claims.
Most refrigerated 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 Reefer cargo is set correctly.
You can sometimes mix fresh food 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 goods must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, best practice is separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
When shipping fresh and frozen food via air, it is essential to maintain the appropriate temperature throughout the journey. This typically involves using refrigerated containers and ensuring that the cargo is loaded and unloaded quickly to minimize temperature fluctuations. Proper insulation and temperature monitoring devices may also be required to ensure product integrity.
