When shipping from Teoloyucan, Mexico to Vitoria, Brazil, prepare for significant delays during the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and Brazil's Wet Season (October-March). Build in buffer days to accommodate potential weather disruptions and port congestion. Confirm vessel space and inland transport well in advance, especially during peak export periods (January-May, September-December). Monitor weather forecasts and adjust routing as necessary to mitigate risks from cyclones and flooding. Avoid tight delivery commitments during these critical windows to ensure timely arrivals.

Moving Fresh food successfully necessitates 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 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 Usually 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. 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 Perishable goods 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 adequate insulation 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 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 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be shipped in temperature-controlled containers to maintain the required chill or freeze levels throughout the ocean journey. It is critical to monitor and record temperature during transit to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of Fresh & Frozen Food require compliance with both Mexican and Brazilian regulations, including proper health certificates from Mexican authorities and adherence to Brazil's sanitary and phytosanitary regulations. Documentation must be complete to ensure smooth customs clearance at both ports.
