When shipping from Port Everglades to Shenzhen, prepare for several seasonal factors. During the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November), build in buffer days to accommodate potential delays and secure alternative ports of refuge. Expect higher capacity during the North American Summer Holiday Peak (late June-early September) and the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December), necessitating early bookings. Additionally, consider potential disruptions during the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and the Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February), as factory closures can impact logistics.

Transporting Fresh food successfully Requires 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 Usually be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines Set 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 Perishable goods 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 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 Confirm requirements for each item and specify the target range on booking instructions and labels so your temperature-controlled shipment 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. Fresh produce typically needs temperatures above freezing, while frozen food 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.
Fresh and frozen food requires strict temperature control throughout the shipping process to maintain quality and safety. This includes using refrigerated containers with proper insulation and monitoring systems to ensure consistent temperatures during transit. Additionally, proper packing methods should be employed to minimize spoilage and damage.
Shipping fresh and frozen food from the United States to China requires compliance with both U.S. and Chinese regulations. This includes obtaining necessary export permits, ensuring products meet Chinese food safety standards, and providing documentation such as health certificates and phytosanitary certificates for agricultural products.
