When shipping from Taipei to Genoa, expect significant delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) due to heavy rainfall and potential landslides, so build in additional buffer time. Secure vessel space early, especially before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Christmas retail peak (October-December), as space becomes limited. Monitor weather conditions during the Mediterranean Winter Storms (November-March) to adjust schedules accordingly and avoid just-in-time deliveries during these critical periods.

Transporting Fresh food successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use cooler boxes 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 goods can Usually 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 Frozen food at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods. Most shippers should 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 beverages 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 temperature-controlled shipment is set correctly.
You can sometimes mix chilled 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 food 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 appropriate temperatures throughout the air freight process to maintain quality. This includes using refrigerated containers and ensuring that the cargo is loaded and unloaded quickly to minimize temperature fluctuations.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with both Taiwanese export regulations and Italian import regulations. This includes necessary health certifications, phytosanitary certificates for fresh produce, and adherence to EU food safety standards.
