When shipping from Qingdao, China to Confins, Brazil, prepare for seasonal disruptions. During the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November), allow for buffer days to account for potential delays. Expect increased rainfall and flooding in Brazil during the Wet Season (October-March), so utilize waterproof coverings for cargo. Additionally, consider the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and soy export peak (February-June) by securing vessel space well in advance to avoid congestion and delays.

Transporting fresh produce 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 expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can often 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 fresh food and frozen food. 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 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. Chilled food 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.
Proper temperature control is crucial for maintaining the quality of fresh and frozen food during air freight. This route requires specialized containers that can maintain specific temperature ranges throughout the journey to prevent spoilage or thawing.
Shipping fresh and frozen food requires adherence to both Chinese and Brazilian import/export regulations, including obtaining necessary health certificates, phytosanitary certificates, and ensuring compliance with Brazil's ANVISA regulations regarding food safety and quality standards.
