When shipping from Shunde, China to Vitoria, Brazil, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Brazil's Wet Season (October-March). Add extra buffer days to your schedules to account for potential port congestion and weather-related disruptions. Secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance, especially before peak periods like the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and the South America Soy Export Peak (February-June). Monitor weather forecasts and adjust cut-off times accordingly to mitigate risks of missed sailings and increased handling times.

Moving fresh produce successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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 temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods can often 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh 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 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
It is essential to maintain proper temperature controls throughout the journey to ensure the quality and safety of fresh and frozen food. This includes using refrigerated containers and monitoring temperature during transit to prevent spoilage.
Shipments must comply with Brazil's import regulations, including obtaining necessary health certifications for food products and ensuring that all documentation meets both Chinese and Brazilian customs standards.
