Yes, frozen goods can often be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good.

Standard cargo policies may restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and frozen food.

You can sometimes mix chilled food and Frozen food in the same load, but only if your container or vehicle can maintain separate temperature zones.

If only one temperature setpoint is available, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at specific temperature ranges throughout the entire air freight process to maintain quality. This includes using temperature-controlled containers and monitoring temperatures during transit to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Brazilian export regulations and Chinese import regulations, which include obtaining health certificates, ensuring proper labeling, and meeting food safety standards set by Chinese authorities.
