Prepare for potential delays due to the Brazil Wet Season (October-March), including heavy rainfall and localized flooding; allow extra buffer days to your schedules. Expect increased congestion during peak fruit exports (January-May, September-December) and soy harvests (February-June), necessitating early bookings and flexible transit plans. Additionally, plan for the South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April) and adjust routes accordingly to avoid disruptions. Arrange vessel space well in advance of the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to mitigate last-minute challenges.

Transporting perishable goods successfully Requires a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for frozen goods, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can in many cases be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines Set 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 reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and Frozen goods. Insurance specialists generally 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 beverages 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 Confirm 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 chilled food and frozen goods 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 temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires strict temperature controls during air freight to maintain quality. This includes the use of refrigerated containers for chilled products and dry ice or specialized frozen packaging for frozen items. Additionally, proper loading and unloading procedures must be followed to minimize temperature fluctuations.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with the Brazilian sanitary regulations for food transport, which necessitate appropriate documentation such as health certificates and invoices.
