When shipping from Xiamen, China to Confins, Brazil, prepare for seasonal disruptions. During the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October), add extra buffer days due to heavy rainfall and potential port congestion. Arrange vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) to avoid delays. In Brazil's Wet Season (October-March), expect localized flooding and longer transit times, ensuring proper moisture control. Additionally, stay updated on weather forecasts to adjust routing as needed during cyclone risk periods (November-April).

Transporting perishable goods successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for frozen goods, 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 goods 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. 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and frozen food. 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 correct handling 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 check 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. Chilled food typically needs temperatures above freezing, while frozen food must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, best practice is separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported with strict temperature controls to maintain product integrity. It is essential to use refrigerated containers for chilled food and ensure that frozen food remains at or below -18°C throughout the journey. Proper loading techniques and minimizing exposure to ambient temperatures during transit are also critical to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food from China to Brazil must comply with both countries' food safety regulations. This includes obtaining necessary phytosanitary and health certificates from Chinese authorities, as well as ensuring compliance with Brazilian regulations regarding import permits and food safety inspections. Detailed documentation must accompany the shipment to facilitate customs clearance.
