When shipping from Vitoria, Brazil to Taipei, Taiwan, consider the Brazilian wet season (October-March), which can cause delays due to heavy rainfall and flooding. Secure vessel space well in advance during peak export seasons, particularly for fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy (February-June), as traffic can significantly impact schedules. Additionally, anticipate potential disruptions from typhoons in the Western Pacific (June-November) and plan for extended transit times during the East Asia rainy season (May-October). Always build in buffer days to mitigate risks.

Moving Fresh food successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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 Reefer cargo.
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. We 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 limit coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods. We 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 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 Reefer cargo 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 goods must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, We recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Care must be taken to maintain the cold chain throughout the journey, utilizing refrigerated containers to ensure that fresh produce and frozen food remain at required temperatures. Monitoring systems should be employed to track temperature and humidity levels during transit to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with both Brazilian export regulations and Taiwanese import regulations, including obtaining necessary health and safety certifications, adhering to food safety standards, and ensuring proper documentation such as phytosanitary certificates and import permits.
