When shipping from Recife to Dubai, be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and build in extra buffer days to your schedules to account for potential delays. During Brazil's Wet Season (October-March), prepare for localized flooding and congestion, necessitating flexible routing and waterproof measures. Additionally, secure capacity well in advance for the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid rollovers and prepare for extended handling times. Lastly, coordinate closely with carriers during the Eid al Fitr holiday period (March-June) to manage reduced operational capacities.

Shipping Fresh food successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use cooler boxes with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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 Usually 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. Most experts 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 Perishable goods and Frozen goods. Most shippers should 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 food 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 temperature-controlled shipment is set correctly.
You can sometimes mix Fresh produce 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 Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires strict temperature control throughout the shipping process to maintain quality. It is essential to use insulated packaging and ensure that refrigeration units are functioning correctly during loading and unloading at both Recife and Dubai airports.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Brazilian export regulations and UAE import regulations, which include obtaining necessary health and phytosanitary certificates and ensuring that products meet UAE food safety standards.
