When shipping from Zhanjiang, China to Manaus, 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 November-February), to account for port congestion and potential flooding. Secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance of the Golden Week (October 1-7) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid rollovers. Monitor weather forecasts and adjust routing plans accordingly to mitigate disruptions from cyclones and flooding.

Transporting Fresh food successfully Requires a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled 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 Usually 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. 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods. 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 correct handling 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 Confirm 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, We recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be maintained at specific temperature ranges throughout the journey to ensure quality and safety. It is essential to utilize refrigerated containers equipped with temperature control systems. Additionally, proper loading techniques should be employed to prevent temperature fluctuations and ensure proper air circulation within the containers.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certificates, adhering to food safety standards, and ensuring that all products are appropriately labeled. Import permits may also be required, and customs documentation must be accurately completed to facilitate the clearance process upon arrival in Manaus.
