Yes, frozen goods can Usually 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods 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.

Chilled food typically needs temperatures above freezing, while frozen food 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 kept at specific temperature ranges throughout the air freight process to ensure product quality. Proper packaging and insulation are critical to maintain these temperatures during transit. Additionally, it is essential to monitor humidity levels to prevent spoilage.

Yes, shipping fresh and frozen food within Brazil requires compliance with ANVISA regulations, which govern food safety and handling standards. Proper documentation, including health certificates and invoices, must accompany the shipment to ensure regulatory compliance during transport.
