When shipping from Newark to Manaus, account for the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative ports during peak storms (August-October). Additionally, expect heavy rainfall and localized flooding in Brazil during the Wet Season (October-March), necessitating extra buffer days and waterproof measures. Negotiate tight delivery schedules during the North American Winter Storms (December-March) to mitigate disruptions from snow and ice. Lastly, secure vessel space early for the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) to navigate increased demand effectively.

Transporting Fresh food 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 Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can Usually 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 Perishable goods 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 beverages 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 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 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, We recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain the necessary cold chain. It is essential to ensure proper insulation and refrigeration during the ocean freight journey to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with Brazil's ANVISA regulations, including obtaining health certificates and ensuring that products meet Brazilian food safety standards. Additionally, customs documentation must be accurately prepared to facilitate clearance at both Newark and Manaus ports.
