Express transit times and affordable rates for your Frozen Food shipments
Taiwan
Peru
The ocean route from Taipei to Callao is ideal for transporting fresh produce and chilled food items due to its capacity for large shipments and temperature-controlled containers. This journey ensures that perishable goods maintain their quality during transit, minimizing spoilage and maximizing freshness upon arrival. Additionally, the extensive maritime network supports efficient logistics and reduces overall transit risks for refrigerated and frozen food products.
Taipei boasts a modern port with advanced facilities, equipped to handle various types of cargo, including perishable goods. The port's cold chain infrastructure ensures that fresh and frozen food items are processed and loaded under optimal conditions. In Callao, the port is similarly equipped with state-of-the-art refrigeration capabilities, allowing for effective unloading and storage of chilled and frozen items, ensuring they remain in prime condition for distribution to local markets.

When shipping from Taipei, Taiwan to Callao, Peru, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in extra buffer days for port operations and secure vessel space well in advance, especially during peak periods like Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December). Monitor weather conditions and adjust cut-off times accordingly to mitigate disruptions from coastal fog (May-September) and seasonal storms.

Moving fresh produce successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging 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 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. We 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 fresh food and Frozen goods. We 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 refrigerated 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 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 food 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be maintained at specific temperatures throughout the shipping process to ensure quality and safety. It is essential to use refrigerated containers equipped with temperature control systems during the entire ocean freight journey. Proper insulation and monitoring systems should be in place to avoid temperature fluctuations that can compromise the integrity of the products.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary health certificates indicating compliance with food safety regulations. Additionally, import permits may be needed to meet Peruvian customs requirements for fresh and frozen food products. Proper documentation is crucial to ensure smooth customs clearance at the port of Callao.
