When shipping from Newark to Port Klang, prepare for significant disruptions due to seasonal factors. During the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November), allow for buffer days and flexible port windows to manage potential delays. Expect congestion and longer transit times during the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September), so increase lead times and consider alternate routings. Additionally, secure vessel space early for the peak retail periods (November-December) to avoid capacity shortages. Monitor carriers closely for real-time updates to navigate these challenges effectively.

Transporting perishable goods successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for frozen goods, 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 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. 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and Frozen goods. 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 adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most chilled beverages 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 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 chilled food and frozen goods in the same load, but only if your container or vehicle can maintain separate temperature zones. Fresh produce 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
When shipping fresh and frozen food over the 15,137 km route from Newark to Port Klang, it is crucial to maintain the appropriate temperature throughout the journey. This includes using refrigerated containers to ensure that fresh produce remains at optimal temperatures and frozen food stays at or below -18°C. Proper packing methods should be employed to minimize temperature fluctuations and prevent spoilage.
Shipping fresh and frozen food from Newark to Port Klang requires compliance with both U.S. and Malaysian regulations. Exporters must ensure that all food products are properly labeled and accompanied by necessary documentation, including health certificates and import permits. Additionally, goods may be subject to inspections by Malaysian authorities upon arrival to verify compliance with local food safety standards.
