Be prepared for increased rainfall and potential flooding during the Brazilian wet season (October-March), which may disrupt air cargo schedules. Book vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance of the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid congestion and delays. Monitor cyclone risks in the South Atlantic (November-April) and adjust routes as necessary. Additionally, consider extended transit times during the year-end inventory build peak (September-December) and the South America fruit export season (January-May).

Moving fresh produce successfully Requires a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging 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 often 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh 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 Proper packaging was used before honoring claims.
Most refrigerated 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 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 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 Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled environments to maintain product integrity. It is essential to use appropriate packaging and refrigerants to ensure that temperature is consistently monitored throughout the air freight process.
Shipping fresh and frozen food domestically requires compliance with Brazilian health regulations, including proper documentation to ensure food safety standards are met. This includes certificates of origin and health inspections to verify that products are safe for consumption.
