When shipping from Viracopos, Brazil to Xiamen, China, account for the Brazilian wet season (October-March) by including buffer days to schedules and steering clear of tight transshipment connections. During peak fruit export periods (January-May, September-December), expect tight vessel space and longer terminal dwell times. Additionally, be mindful of potential delays during the Chinese Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February), as congestion can impact delivery schedules. Secure bookings early and coordinate closely with carriers for updates.

Shipping fresh produce successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for frozen goods, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a Fast transit 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 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. 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 Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food 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 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 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 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 Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh & Frozen Food requires strict temperature control throughout the air freight process. This includes using refrigerated containers and ensuring that the cargo is loaded and unloaded quickly to maintain the required temperature range.
Shipments of Fresh & Frozen Food must comply with both Brazilian export regulations and Chinese import regulations, including obtaining necessary health certificates, phytosanitary certificates, and ensuring that products meet Chinese food safety standards.
