Account for the Brazil Wet Season (October-March) as heavy rainfall can lead to delays and flooding at ports. Book air transport capacity well in advance during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid congestion. Expect extended transit times due to the South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April) and maintain flexible routing options. Monitor potential delays from Saharan dust (June-August) affecting visibility. Plan for increased demand during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) to ensure timely deliveries.

Transporting 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 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 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 restrict 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 adequate insulation 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 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 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, 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 properly packaged in insulated containers with ice packs or dry ice to maintain temperature during transit. It is essential to monitor temperature controls throughout the flight to ensure product integrity.
Shipments of Fresh & Frozen Food require compliance with both Brazilian and Peruvian regulations, including obtaining necessary phytosanitary certificates, import permits, and adhering to food safety standards set by the respective authorities.
