Anticipate potential delays and increased congestion during the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April). Book vessel space and trucking capacity at least 3-6 weeks in advance during peak export periods for fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy (February-June). Allow for extra buffer days in transit schedules to accommodate weather-related disruptions and terminal congestion. Coordinate with carriers for schedule changes, especially during high-demand periods like Christmas (October-December) and Black Friday (mid-November to early December).

Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods 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. Most experts 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and Frozen goods. Most shippers should 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 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 verify requirements for each item and specify the target range on booking instructions and labels so your temperature-controlled shipment 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. Fresh produce typically needs temperatures above freezing, while frozen food must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, best practice is separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept within specific temperature ranges during ocean freight to ensure product quality. Proper insulation and refrigeration systems must be utilized on vessels to maintain these temperatures throughout the journey.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with Brazil's health and safety regulations, including obtaining necessary permits and ensuring products meet sanitary standards set by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA).
