Be mindful of the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and allow extra buffer time for port operations due to heavy rainfall, especially from June to September. Arrange vessel space well in advance of the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid congestion and delays. Prepare for potential disruptions from North America Winter Storms (December-March) and adjust delivery windows accordingly. Coordinate with carriers for real-time weather impacts and ensure flexible routing options throughout these critical periods.

Shipping Fresh food successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for frozen goods, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, Frozen food 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. Our compliance team recommends 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 Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and frozen food. Insurance specialists generally 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 food 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 temperature-controlled shipment is set correctly.
You can sometimes mix Fresh produce 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 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be maintained at specific temperature ranges throughout the flight. It is essential to use insulated packaging and dry ice for frozen items to prevent thawing, while fresh produce should be kept in refrigerated containers to ensure quality upon arrival.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including necessary permits and health certificates from Taiwanese authorities. Proper documentation is crucial for customs clearance in Anchorage.
