When shipping from Taipei, Taiwan to Valparaiso, Chile, anticipate significant delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Allow for extra buffer days for transit and delivery commitments, especially during peak rainfall (June-September) and typhoon months (August-October). Confirm vessel space and equipment well in advance, particularly before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Christmas retail peak (October-December), as delays are common during these periods. Monitor weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate disruptions.

Moving perishable goods 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 food can in many cases 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and frozen food. 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 adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most refrigerated 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 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 fresh food and frozen goods 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be maintained at specific temperature ranges during transit to ensure quality. This requires specialized refrigerated containers (reefer containers) that can keep products at controlled temperatures throughout the ocean journey. Additionally, proper packaging is essential to prevent spoilage and contamination.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food are subject to strict regulatory requirements, including obtaining health and sanitary certificates from Taiwanese authorities. Additionally, import permits and compliance with Chilean food safety regulations are necessary, which may include inspections upon arrival to ensure that products meet local standards.
