When shipping from Sanshui, China to Miami, ensure to allow for extra buffer days during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) to account for potential delays. Secure vessel space well in advance before the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion. Additionally, prepare for extended transit times during peak holiday volumes (November-December) and the North America Winter Storms (December-March) by adjusting cut-off times and monitoring weather conditions closely.

Transporting fresh produce successfully necessitates 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 Fast transit 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 impose 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and frozen food. 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 beverages 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 check 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 food 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, best practice is separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain the appropriate chill or freeze levels during the journey, given the 14,395 km distance by ocean freight. Proper insulation and refrigeration are critical to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including prior notice requirements and adherence to import safety standards. Additionally, proper documentation such as phytosanitary certificates for fresh produce and compliance with USDA regulations are necessary when entering the U.S. market.
