The route from Wuhan to Mira Loma offers significant advantages for transporting fresh produce and frozen food. Utilizing ocean freight ensures temperature-controlled shipping, preserving the quality of chilled and frozen items throughout the journey. This method also allows for bulk shipments, optimizing costs while maintaining product integrity. The extensive maritime network supports reliable and efficient logistics for perishable goods, ensuring they reach their destination in optimal condition.
Wuhan's port facilities are equipped with advanced cold storage capabilities, enabling efficient handling of refrigerated and frozen products. The infrastructure includes modern container terminals designed to support high volumes of perishable goods, ensuring swift loading and unloading processes. In Mira Loma, the distribution centers are strategically located with robust cold chain logistics, providing seamless transitions from ocean freight to final delivery. This synergy between both locations facilitates the effective movement of fresh and frozen food across the supply chain.

When shipping from Wuhan, China to Mira Loma, United States, account for the following seasonal factors: Build in additional buffer days during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) to mitigate delays from weather disruptions. Secure vessel space well in advance of the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid capacity shortages. Additionally, expect increased congestion during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and the North American summer holiday peak (late June-early September), necessitating flexible scheduling and early departures.

Transporting fresh produce successfully necessitates 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 expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods 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 Frozen food at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may restrict 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 Reefer cargo. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most chilled beverages 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 chilled 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, We recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires temperature-controlled containers to maintain the integrity of the products during the ocean freight. It is critical to monitor and manage the temperature throughout the journey to prevent spoilage or thawing.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards, which mandates prior notice for food shipments. Additionally, importers must ensure that all products meet U.S. safety and labeling standards, and may require specific permits or inspections before entering the U.S.
