Be mindful of potential delays due to the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and build in buffer days in your shipping schedules. Anticipate extended transit times during Brazil's Wet Season (October-March) and verify draft restrictions at ports. Additionally, book vessel space well in advance during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) to avoid congestion. Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time weather and congestion alerts to ensure timely deliveries.

Shipping fresh produce successfully demands 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 expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, Frozen food can often be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines have 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 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 Reefer cargo. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that correct handling was used before honoring claims.
Most Chilled 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 verify 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 food 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 temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept within specific temperature ranges during transport to ensure quality and safety. Proper insulation and temperature-controlled containers are essential for maintaining the integrity of chilled and frozen products throughout the air freight journey.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with both U.S. and Brazilian regulations, including obtaining necessary permits, health certifications, and adhering to import restrictions set by Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture. Documentation must include a phytosanitary certificate for fresh produce and a veterinary certificate for meat products.
