When shipping from Sanshui to Shanghai, anticipate the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in buffer time for port operations and arrange vessel space well in advance, especially before Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February). Expect increased congestion and longer transit times during these periods. Review flexible routing options and adjust cut-off times to mitigate delays caused by weather and holiday disruptions.

Moving Fresh food 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 Reefer cargo.
Yes, Frozen food can Usually 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods 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 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 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 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
It is crucial to maintain appropriate temperature controls throughout the journey to ensure the integrity of fresh and frozen food. This includes using refrigerated containers with reliable cooling systems to prevent spoilage during transit. Additionally, proper loading and unloading procedures must be followed to minimize temperature fluctuations.
Shipping fresh and frozen food within China requires compliance with food safety regulations set by Chinese authorities. Proper documentation, including health certificates and customs declarations, must be prepared to ensure that the products meet safety standards and are eligible for transport.
