Build in additional buffer days to account for potential disruptions, including heavy rainfall and port congestion. Secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance during peak periods, such as the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) and the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February), to mitigate capacity shortages. Always track weather forecasts closely to adjust schedules as needed.

Transporting Fresh food 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 time‑definite service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
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. 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 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 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 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. 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.
Fresh and frozen food must be maintained at specific temperature ranges throughout the journey to ensure product integrity. Proper refrigeration units and insulated packaging are essential to prevent spoilage. Additionally, monitoring temperature during transit is critical due to the long distance of 16,000 km.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations, including obtaining necessary health certifications and import permits. It is also required to adhere to the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture's standards for food safety and quality, which may include inspections upon arrival in Belem.
