When shipping from Sanshui, China to Rio Grande, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Allow for extra buffer days for port operations and book vessel space well in advance, especially around the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March). Monitor weather forecasts and adjust cut-off times accordingly to mitigate risks from cyclones and heavy rainfall, particularly during peak periods (November-February).

Shipping 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 time‑definite 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 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 Exclude 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 correct handling 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 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 Fresh produce and frozen goods 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food should be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain appropriate conditions throughout the journey. It is critical to ensure that cold chain management is strictly followed to prevent spoilage, especially given the long distance of 18,240 km over the ocean.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations, which include obtaining necessary health certificates, adhering to food safety standards, and ensuring proper labeling. It is important to be aware of any specific requirements related to the types of food being shipped, as Brazil has strict regulations on food imports.
