When shipping from Shenzhen, China to Natal, Brazil, prepare for seasonal challenges. During the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October), account for potential delays due to heavy rainfall. In Brazil's Wet Season (October-March), expect localized flooding and increased handling times, particularly from November to February. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance of peak retail periods (October-December) to avoid congestion and delays. Always coordinate closely carriers for real-time updates and flexible routing options.

Transporting perishable goods successfully Requires 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 temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods can in many cases be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines Set 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 restrict 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 adequate insulation 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 Confirm 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 Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported under strict temperature control to maintain quality. Air freight facilities in Shenzhen and Natal should have the necessary infrastructure, such as refrigerated containers and temperature monitoring systems, to ensure compliance with food safety regulations during transit.
Exporting fresh and frozen food from Shenzhen to Natal requires compliance with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certificates, ensuring products meet Brazilian food safety standards, and completing customs documentation accurately to prevent delays.
