Plan for potential delays due to Brazil's wet season (October-March), where heavy rainfall and flooding can disrupt port operations. Confirm vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) to avoid congestion. Allow for extra buffer days for delivery commitments, especially during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5), as staffing shortages and increased demand can lead to delays. Monitor weather forecasts and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate disruptions.

Shipping fresh produce successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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 often 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 reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and frozen food. 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 Proper packaging 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at specific temperature ranges throughout the air freight process to ensure product quality. It is crucial to use refrigerated containers for chilled food and frozen containers with adequate insulation for frozen food during transit. Additionally, proper packaging is essential to minimize temperature fluctuations.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with both Brazilian export regulations and Mexican import regulations. This includes obtaining phytosanitary certificates for fresh produce and ensuring that all food products meet the health and safety standards set by Mexican authorities. Proper documentation must accompany the shipment to facilitate customs clearance in Mexico City.
