When shipping from Taipei to Ningbo, prepare for significant delays during the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and typhoon season (June-November), which can affect port operations and inland transport. Secure vessel space well in advance, especially before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7), to avoid congestion and capacity shortages. Allow for extra buffer days for transit times and coordinate closely with local agents to manage potential disruptions during these peak periods.

Moving fresh produce successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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. Our compliance team recommends 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and frozen food. Insurance specialists generally 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 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. 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 Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
When shipping fresh and frozen food via ocean freight from Taipei to Ningbo, it is crucial to maintain the cold chain throughout the journey. This involves using refrigerated containers to ensure that temperatures are kept within the required ranges for both fresh produce and frozen goods. Proper insulation and monitoring systems should be employed to prevent temperature fluctuations during transit.
Regulatory requirements for shipping fresh and frozen food from Taiwan to China include obtaining the necessary import permits and ensuring compliance with China's food safety standards. This may involve providing documentation such as health certificates, phytosanitary certificates, and customs declarations to facilitate smooth customs clearance at the port of Ningbo.
