Be mindful of the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) and anticipate heavy rainfall and port congestion, necessitating buffer days in schedules. During the Brazilian Wet Season (October-March), expect increased rainfall and localized flooding, which may disrupt transit times. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance for the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) to mitigate tight capacity and congestion risks. Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates to ensure timely deliveries throughout these periods.

Shipping fresh produce successfully necessitates 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 time‑definite service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, Frozen food can often 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 Frozen food at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh 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 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 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 Fresh produce 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at specific temperature ranges throughout the shipping process to ensure product integrity. This includes using insulated packaging and temperature-controlled air freight facilities to prevent spoilage or thawing during transit.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with Brazilian health regulations, including obtaining necessary import permits and health certificates. Additionally, products must be inspected at customs in Brazil to ensure they meet safety and quality standards.
