When shipping from Teoloyucan, Mexico to Boston, United States, prepare for significant disruptions during peak hurricane season (June-November) and winter storms (December-March). Include buffer days for weather-related delays and avoid tight connections during these periods.

Monitor weather forecasts and adjust routes as necessary to mitigate delays caused by storms and congestion.

Moving perishable goods successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging 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 temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods 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. We 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. We 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 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 Reefer cargo 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 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires temperature-controlled containers to maintain appropriate conditions during transit. It's essential to monitor and ensure that the refrigeration units are functioning correctly throughout the journey, as any temperature deviation can compromise the quality and safety of the products.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including proper labeling and adherence to safety standards. Additionally, importers need to provide necessary documentation, such as a bill of lading, commercial invoice, and any relevant health certifications to ensure compliance with both U.S. and Mexican regulations.
