When shipping from Taipei, Taiwan to Altamira, Mexico, be mindful of the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November). Include additional buffer days for potential delays due to heavy rainfall and typhoons, especially during peak months (June-September). Secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance of the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion. Additionally, monitor weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate disruptions from seasonal storms and port congestion.

Shipping perishable goods successfully Requires 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 in many cases be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines Set 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 chilled food and Frozen goods. 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 adequate insulation 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 Confirm 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. 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.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain the required cold chain. It is crucial to monitor and document temperature levels throughout the journey to ensure product quality and safety.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with both Taiwan's export regulations and Mexico's import regulations, including obtaining necessary health certificates and permits. Importers must also ensure that products meet Mexican sanitary standards for food safety.
We accept ACH, wire transfer, and credit card payments, with payment terms set during onboarding and adjustable for specific enterprise requirements.
