When shipping from Yantian, China to Suape, Brazil, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Brazil's Wet Season (October-March). Build in extra buffer days to your schedules, especially during peak rainfall months (June-September) and the Brazilian wet period (November-February). Confirm vessel space and equipment well in advance, as congestion can lead to missed sailings. Coordinate with carriers for real-time updates and flexible routing options to mitigate disruptions from weather-related issues and port congestion.

Moving 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 limit 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 refrigerated food 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 fresh 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 perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
When shipping Fresh & Frozen Food on this route, it is crucial to maintain appropriate temperature controls throughout the journey. This includes using refrigerated containers (reefers) to ensure that chilled and frozen items remain within the required temperature ranges. Additionally, proper loading and unloading procedures must be followed to minimize exposure to ambient temperatures.
Shipments of Fresh & Frozen Food from Yantian to Suape must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary phytosanitary certificates for fresh produce and ensuring that all food items meet Brazilian health and safety standards. Proper documentation, including invoices and packing lists, must be provided for customs clearance at both ports.
