When shipping from Sanshui, China to Vitoria, Brazil, expect significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Add extra buffer days for transit times and secure vessel space well in advance, especially around the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February). Additionally, consider the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March) and South Atlantic Cyclone Risk (November-April), which may disrupt operations. Monitor weather forecasts and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate risks.

Transporting perishable goods successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for frozen goods, 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 Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can in many cases be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines have 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. Our compliance team recommends 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 chilled food and Frozen goods. Insurance specialists generally 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 correct handling 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 verify 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 Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
When shipping fresh and frozen food, it is crucial to maintain appropriate temperature controls throughout the journey, ensuring that refrigerated items are kept at 0-4°C and frozen items at -18°C or lower. Packaging must be insulated and leak-proof to prevent spoilage. Additionally, monitoring equipment should be used to track temperatures during transit.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with Brazil's National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) rules, which necessitate that all food products have proper health certifications, and documentation proving they meet Brazilian hygiene standards. Importers must also ensure that products are accompanied by phytosanitary certificates if applicable.
