Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical transit time from China to Mexico?

Transit time ranges from 18 to 28 days depending on the origin port, destination port, and shipping route. Direct services from Shanghai/Ningbo to Manzanillo are the fastest, while transshipment via hubs like Busan or Long Beach may add 3‑5 days.

What temperature ranges can your reefers maintain?

Our 20RF and 40RF containers can maintain temperatures from -30°C to +30°C with precise ±0.5°C accuracy. We support frozen, chilled, and ambient temperature settings to match your cargo requirements.

Do you handle customs clearance in Mexico?

Yes. Our team works with licensed Mexican customs brokers to ensure smooth clearance. We handle all documentation, including commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and any special permits required for perishable goods (e.g., SENASICA).

What is the minimum cargo volume for a reefer FCL?

A full container load (FCL) requires one 20RF or 40RF container. If your shipment is smaller, we can arrange LCL (less than container load) reefer consolidation, though FCL is recommended for temperature‑sensitive goods to avoid cross‑contamination and temperature fluctuations.

Do you offer cargo insurance for reefer shipments?

Absolutely. We partner with leading marine insurers to offer comprehensive coverage for perishable cargo, including temperature deviation, spoilage, and delay. We can tailor a policy to match your specific risk profile.

How do I prepare my goods for reefer shipping?

We provide detailed pre‑shipment guidelines including pre‑cooling requirements, packaging standards, and ventilation settings. Our team can also arrange for pre‑trip inspection (PTI) of the container to ensure it is fully operational before loading.
