Consider potential delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Southwest Monsoon (May-November), as heavy rainfall can impact cargo handling and transportation. Anticipate extended transit times and build in buffer days for schedules, particularly during peak rainfall months (June-September). Book vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) to avoid congestion. Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates, especially during the Lunar New Year period (late-January to mid-February) when logistics may slow significantly.

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. Most experts 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 Perishable goods and Frozen goods.

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. Fresh produce typically needs temperatures above freezing, while frozen food 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 requires strict temperature control during air freight to maintain product quality. Use insulated packaging and dry ice or gel packs to ensure temperature stability throughout the journey. Additionally, products should be loaded and unloaded quickly to minimize exposure to higher temperatures.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food between China and Taiwan must comply with both countries' food safety regulations.
