Anticipate extended transit times during Brazil's wet season (October-March) due to localized flooding. Additionally, confirm vessel space well in advance of peak holiday periods, such as the Christmas retail peak (October-December), to avoid booking challenges. Communicate with carriers for real-time updates to mitigate disruptions throughout these critical periods.

Moving perishable goods successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use cooler boxes with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for frozen goods, 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 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. Most experts 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and frozen food. Most shippers should 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 adequate insulation 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 temperature-controlled shipment 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. Chilled food typically needs temperatures above freezing, while frozen food must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, best practice is separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh & Frozen Food must be maintained at specific temperature ranges throughout the air freight process to ensure product integrity. Proper insulation and temperature-controlled containers are required to prevent spoilage and maintain quality during transit.
Shipments of Fresh & Frozen Food to Brazil must comply with the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture's regulations, including obtaining necessary phytosanitary certificates and ensuring that products meet Brazilian health standards. Additionally, documentation such as invoices and packing lists is required for customs clearance in Recife.
