The air route from Qingdao to Viracopos is ideal for transporting fresh produce and refrigerated goods, ensuring that temperature-sensitive items arrive in optimal condition. The speed of air freight minimizes exposure to temperature fluctuations, which is crucial for maintaining the quality of chilled and frozen food products. Additionally, this route facilitates quick access to the Brazilian market, allowing suppliers to meet consumer demand for fresh and frozen items efficiently.
Qingdao boasts advanced airport infrastructure equipped with specialized facilities for handling perishable goods, including temperature-controlled storage and rapid loading capabilities. At Viracopos, the airport is similarly outfitted with modern cold chain logistics systems to ensure seamless transfer and distribution of fresh and frozen food.

Be mindful of the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and flexible routing options to accommodate potential disruptions. Prepare for increased congestion and handling delays during the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7); secure bookings well in advance. Additionally, account for the Brazil Wet Season (October-March) by allowing extra time for potential flooding and delays at ports. Monitor capacity constraints and adjust schedules accordingly during peak export periods (September-December).

Shipping perishable goods successfully Requires a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated 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 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 reefer cargo 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 refrigerated food shipment. 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, best practice is 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 during air freight to maintain quality. It is essential to use insulated packaging and dry ice or gel packs to ensure products remain within the required temperature range throughout the journey. Additionally, handling should be done with care to prevent damage to perishable items.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food from Qingdao to Viracopos must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary phytosanitary certificates, adhering to labeling requirements, and ensuring that all products meet Brazilian health and safety standards.
