When shipping from Vitoria, Brazil to Toronto, Canada, anticipate challenges during the wet season (October-March), including localized flooding and increased delays. Secure vessel space and equipment well in advance during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June) to avoid congestion. Additionally, allow for extra buffer days during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and the Western New Year period (December 20-January 5) to account for staffing shortages. Stay updated on weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly.

Moving fresh produce successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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 food can often be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines impose 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 fresh food and frozen food. 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 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 check 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. Chilled food typically needs temperatures above freezing, while Frozen goods 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh & Frozen Food requires strict temperature control during air freight to maintain product integrity. It should be packed in insulated containers with gel packs or dry ice for frozen items to ensure they remain within safe temperature ranges throughout the journey.
Shipments of Fresh & Frozen Food from Brazil to Canada must comply with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulations, including obtaining necessary import permits and ensuring that all products are free from pests and diseases. Documentation such as health certificates and phytosanitary certificates may also be required.
