When shipping from Shunde, China to Buenos Aires, Argentina, account for the following seasonal factors: Build in additional buffer days during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November) to mitigate delays from heavy rainfall. Secure vessel space well in advance of the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion. Additionally, anticipate increased port congestion during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and the soy export peak (February-June), necessitating flexible routing options.

Transporting 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 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 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and frozen food. 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 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. Chilled food 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.
It is crucial to maintain appropriate temperature controls throughout the journey, utilizing refrigerated containers to ensure the integrity of fresh and frozen food. Proper loading and unloading procedures must be followed to minimize temperature fluctuations, and monitoring equipment should be in place to track conditions during transit.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with Argentina's import regulations, which include obtaining necessary phytosanitary certificates, health certificates, and ensuring that products meet local food safety standards. Additionally, import permits may be required for certain food items, and customs documentation must accurately reflect the nature of the goods being shipped.
