When shipping from Wuhan to Xiamen, be mindful of the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and expect potential delays due to heavy rainfall and flooding (June-September). Arrange vessel space and trucking capacity ahead of the China Golden Week (October 1-7) to avoid congestion and extended dwell times. Additionally, prepare for increased port congestion during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5), necessitating additional buffer days.

Shipping perishable goods 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 in many cases 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 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 Proper packaging 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 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 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, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires temperature-controlled containers to maintain proper refrigeration and freezing during transit. It's essential to monitor and manage the temperature throughout the journey to prevent spoilage. Additionally, proper ventilation and humidity control must be ensured to maintain the quality of fresh produce.
Required documentation typically includes a Bill of Lading, customs declaration, and health certificates for food products. Compliance with local food safety regulations and any specific permits for fresh and frozen food items is also necessary to ensure smooth customs clearance at both departure and arrival ports.
