When shipping from Navegantes, Brazil to Buenos Aires, Argentina, be mindful of the Brazil wet season (October-March) which can cause heavier rainfall and flooding, leading to potential delays. Anticipate increased congestion during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and soy harvest export peak (February-June), necessitating early bookings and flexible transit plans. Additionally, during the South Atlantic cyclone risk period (November-April), schedule buffer days for potential route disruptions due to weather. Always verify draft restrictions and maintain close communication with carriers.

Transporting 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 temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods 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 restrict 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 adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most chilled beverages 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 chilled food 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.
It is essential to maintain appropriate temperature controls throughout the journey, ensuring that refrigerated and frozen food is kept at the required temperatures to prevent spoilage. Additionally, proper packaging is crucial to prevent contamination and maintain product integrity during ocean freight.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Brazilian and Argentine health regulations, which include obtaining necessary phytosanitary certificates, adhering to food safety standards, and ensuring that all documentation is complete for customs clearance at both ports.
