When shipping from Wuhan, China to Prince Rupert, Canada, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and peak typhoon activity (June-November). Add buffer days for port operations and secure flexible routing options to mitigate weather-related disruptions. Expect increased congestion during the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and the Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February), ensuring early bookings and adjusted cut-off times. Additionally, monitor carriers for real-time updates during the North Pacific winter storm season (November-March) to manage potential delays effectively.

Transporting perishable goods successfully Requires a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers 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 in many cases be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines Set 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 Frozen food at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may restrict 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 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 goods products must remain at −18°C or colder. Exact ranges depend on the product type and local regulations. Always Confirm 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 chilled food 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, We recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported under strict temperature controls throughout the journey to maintain product quality. This includes using refrigerated containers for chilled products and ensuring that frozen items remain at or below -18°C. Additionally, proper loading techniques and securing practices are essential to prevent damage during transit.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with both Chinese export regulations and Canadian import regulations, particularly those set by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Importers must provide documentation such as health certificates, import permits, and declarations of compliance with food safety standards to ensure that the fresh and frozen food products meet Canadian health and safety criteria.
