When shipping from Yantian, China to Itapoa, Brazil, consider multiple seasonal factors. During the East Asia rainy season (May-October), build in extra buffer time due to heavy rainfall and potential port congestion. In Brazil's wet season (October-March), expect localized flooding and increased handling times, necessitating waterproof coverings and flexible routing. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance during peak export periods (January-May, September-December) to mitigate tight capacity and ensure timely deliveries.

Transporting fresh produce 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 time‑definite 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 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh 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 Proper packaging 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 verify 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. Fresh produce typically needs temperatures above freezing, while Frozen goods must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, best practice is 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 throughout the journey to maintain product quality. It’s essential to monitor and manage the cold chain effectively, ensuring that refrigerated and frozen items remain within specified temperature ranges during loading, transit, and unloading.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations, which include obtaining necessary health certifications, adhering to food safety standards, and ensuring proper labeling in accordance with Brazilian customs requirements.
