When shipping from Vitoria, Brazil to Shenzhen, China, expect significant challenges during the wet season (October-March) due to heavy rainfall and potential flooding, necessitating extra time in schedules. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance during peak fruit export periods (January-May, September-December) to avoid congestion and tight capacity. Be mindful of the Golden Week holiday in China (October 1-7), as congestion can impact port operations. Finally, track weather conditions closely during the typhoon season (June-November) to adjust plans accordingly.

Moving perishable goods successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for frozen goods, 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 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 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. We 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 chilled food and Frozen goods. We 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 refrigerated 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 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 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
When shipping fresh and frozen food via air, it is crucial to maintain the cold chain throughout the journey to prevent spoilage. This includes using refrigerated containers and monitoring temperature during transit. Additionally, proper packaging must be utilized to ensure that the products remain at appropriate temperatures and are protected from contamination.
Regulatory requirements include obtaining necessary health certifications and ensuring compliance with China's import regulations for food products. Documentation such as a phytosanitary certificate for fresh produce and a health certificate for frozen food is typically required. It is essential to verify the specific import regulations and documentation requirements with customs authorities in both Brazil and China before shipping.
