When shipping from Navegantes, Brazil to Callao, Peru, consider the Brazil wet season (October-March) by building extra buffer days into schedules and planning around tight transshipment connections. During peak fruit export periods (January-May, September-December), anticipate tight vessel space and longer terminal dwell times, necessitating early bookings. Additionally, be vigilant about weather conditions during the South Atlantic cyclone risk window (November-April) to adjust plans for potential disruptions. Lastly, prepare for extended transit times during the Southern Ocean storm season (May-September) to mitigate delays.

Moving 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 food, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a time‑definite service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
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. 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 limit 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 Proper packaging was used before honoring claims.
Most refrigerated 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 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 food must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, We recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
It is crucial to maintain the cold chain throughout the shipping process, ensuring that refrigerated and frozen foods are stored at appropriate temperatures. Proper insulation and temperature monitoring are necessary during transit to prevent spoilage. Additionally, quick loading and unloading at both ports are important to minimize temperature fluctuations.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Brazilian and Peruvian regulations, including obtaining health certificates and phytosanitary certificates where applicable. Import permits may also be required by Peruvian authorities, and proper documentation must accompany the shipment to ensure compliance with customs regulations.
