When shipping from Shanghai, China to Vitoria, Brazil, secure vessel space and equipment well in advance, especially during peak periods like the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December). Anticipate port congestion and longer transit times due to seasonal factors such as typhoons (June-November) and Brazil's wet season (October-March). Build in additional buffer days in your schedules to accommodate potential delays and coordinate closely with local agents to manage logistics effectively during these high-demand periods.

Moving perishable goods successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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 Reefer cargo.
Yes, Frozen food 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. 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled 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 Proper packaging was used before honoring claims.
Most refrigerated 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 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 fresh 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 Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh & Frozen Food requires temperature-controlled environments during transit to maintain product integrity. It is essential to utilize refrigerated containers with appropriate insulation and monitoring systems to ensure consistent temperatures throughout the journey, given the lengthy distance of 17,830 km by ocean freight.
