Anticipate increased congestion and longer transit times during the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December). Confirm vessel space and transport capacity at least 3-4 weeks in advance to mitigate risks from heavy rainfall and tight booking competition. Adjust for potential delays during the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December), as staffing shortages can impact operations. Build in additional buffer days to your schedules to accommodate these seasonal challenges.

Shipping 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 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 food 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 Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled 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 Chilled 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 produce and frozen goods 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 Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be kept at appropriate temperatures throughout transport, requiring specialized refrigerated containers. Proper insulation and temperature monitoring are essential to maintain product quality during the air route of 766 km.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with ANVISA guidelines for food safety, ensuring all products meet health standards. Documentation must include certificates of origin and health certificates specific to fresh and frozen food.
