Reefer Containers from China

Reefer container shipping from China is a temperature file, not a dry-box file with a note. Yihang needs the commodity, the setpoint, and whether the container has to stay plugged in on the road after the port. A dry container is the wrong tool for cargo that will spoil or shift if it warms up. The quote names the service. This page does not publish a rate.

Containers stacked on a vessel

Who it is for

  • A shipper of food, chemicals, or other cargo that has a setpoint
  • A buyer who has been offered a dry container for cargo that cannot travel dry
  • A door move where the plug-in after the port is still undecided

What the file includes

  • Commodity and setpoint written on the quote before a box is booked
  • A check that the inland leg can keep the container powered, if the door requires it
  • A dry box only when the commodity does not need temperature control
  • Frozen seafood export from China and frozen food import into China: documents coordinated with the consignee and their customs broker — Yihang does not act as the importer or clear customs in China
  • Phytosanitary and plant-health paperwork when the commodity needs it, checked before booking
  • Non-operating reefer (NOR) used as dry space only when the line accepts it and the cargo truly does not need temperature control
  • No rate on this page. The number comes back with the service

Questions shippers ask

What is reefer container shipping?

A temperature-controlled container for cargo that cannot travel in a dry box. The setpoint and the commodity are part of the booking, not a comment after the vessel is fixed.

Can the reefer stay cold after the port?

Only if the inland leg can power it. Tell us the door address. A port quote does not include a generator on a truck that was never asked for.

Do you publish a reefer rate?

No. The rate depends on the commodity, the setpoint, the lane, and whether power is required inland. The form is the rate request.

Can you import frozen seafood into China?

Yihang can coordinate reefer transport and help align documents with the Chinese consignee and their customs broker. The consignee must be a registered food importer in China, and overseas plants must be registered with GACC under Decree 248. Yihang does not clear Chinese customs or become the importer.

What is a non-operating reefer (NOR)?

A reefer box used without refrigeration, when the line accepts it and the cargo is dry. It is not a substitute for a reefer when the commodity has a setpoint. Name the commodity on the inquiry.
