Plan for potential delays during the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing flexible port windows. Expect increased congestion during the North America Winter Storms (December-March) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December), necessitating early bookings and extended lead times. Additionally, monitor the impact of Brazil's Wet Season (October-March) on transit times and plan for alternative routes to mitigate flooding risks. Lastly, secure vessel space well in advance during the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) to avoid capacity shortages.

Moving Fresh food successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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 Usually 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 limit 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 Proper packaging was used before honoring claims.
Most refrigerated 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 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh & Frozen Food must be maintained at specific temperature ranges throughout the shipping process to preserve quality. This includes using refrigerated containers for chilled items and ensuring frozen products remain at or below -18°C during air freight. Proper insulation and temperature monitoring are essential to prevent spoilage.
Shipping Fresh & Frozen Food to Brazil requires compliance with both U.S. and Brazilian regulations. Documentation must include a health certificate issued by the USDA, import permits from Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture, and adherence to Brazil's sanitary and phytosanitary standards. Additionally, products must be packaged and labeled according to Brazilian regulations to ensure compliance upon arrival.
