When shipping from Shunde to Ningbo via ocean, account for the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November), which can cause delays due to heavy rainfall and port congestion. Book vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) to avoid rollovers. During the peak retail shipping window (November-December), anticipate longer terminal dwell times and allow for additional buffer days to ensure timely deliveries. Lastly, stay updated on weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly during the typhoon season (June-November).

Transporting 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 goods 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 restrict 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 chilled beverages 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 chilled 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain appropriate conditions. It is crucial to monitor temperature throughout the journey to prevent spoilage. Additionally, proper packing materials should be used to ensure insulation and minimize movement during transit.
The port of Shunde is equipped with facilities for handling temperature-sensitive cargo, including refrigerated containers. Ningbo port also has advanced infrastructure for receiving and distributing fresh and frozen food, with cold storage facilities available to ensure products remain at the required temperatures upon arrival.
