When shipping from Wuhan, China to Manaus, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Brazil's Wet Season (October-March). Include extra buffer days for transit times, especially during peak rainfall months (June-September and November-February). Secure vessel space well in advance of key holidays like Golden Week (October 1-7) and the Western New Year (December 20-January 5) to avoid rollovers. Track weather conditions closely, particularly during cyclone risk periods (November-April), to adjust routing and schedules as necessary.

Shipping perishable goods successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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 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. 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 Exclude 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 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 temperature-controlled shipment 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. Fresh produce typically needs temperatures above freezing, while frozen food must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires careful temperature control throughout the shipping process to maintain product quality. This includes using refrigerated containers with appropriate insulation and monitoring systems to ensure that temperatures remain within safe limits during the ocean transit. Additionally, proper loading and unloading procedures at ports are essential to minimize exposure to ambient temperatures.
Shipping fresh and frozen food from Wuhan to Manaus requires compliance with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations.
