When shipping from Port Klang, Malaysia to Yantian, China, anticipate significant delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Add buffer days to schedules and coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates. Secure vessel space well in advance during peak periods like Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7) to avoid congestion. Expect extended transit times and higher handling risks during these critical windows.

Shipping perishable goods successfully Requires 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 in many cases 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. 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 chilled food and Frozen goods. 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 adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most Chilled food 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 Confirm 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 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at specific temperature ranges throughout the journey to maintain quality. This requires the use of refrigerated containers (reefers) that can be monitored for temperature control. Proper packing and insulation are crucial to prevent temperature fluctuations during transit.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food are subject to strict regulatory requirements, including health certificates, import permits, and compliance with Chinese food safety regulations. Documentation must be prepared to verify that products meet sanitary standards and are free from pests and diseases.
