When shipping from Teoloyucan, Mexico to Shenzhen, China, anticipate significant delays due to seasonal factors. During the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November), allow for buffer days and flexible port windows to accommodate potential disruptions. Additionally, prepare for extended transit times during the Eastern Pacific hurricane season (May-November) and the North Pacific winter storms (November-March). Secure vessel space well in advance during peak periods such as the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and Lunar New Year (January-February) to avoid congestion and ensure timely deliveries.

Shipping fresh produce successfully necessitates 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 time‑definite service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, Frozen food can often be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines impose 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 Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and frozen food. 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 Chilled 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 check 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 produce 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled containers to maintain product integrity. It is important to ensure that the refrigeration units are functioning properly and that the temperature is monitored throughout the journey to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Mexican and Chinese food safety regulations. This includes obtaining necessary sanitary and phytosanitary certificates, as well as ensuring that all products meet the import standards set by Chinese authorities.
