Does Hicey book the reefer container, or do I arrange my own freight for ice cre

2026-11-12

Under FOB, our main trade term, you or your designated freight forwarder book the ocean leg and manage the reefer booking for the ice cream shipment. Under CIF or DDP, Hicey (Beijing Youshare Food Co., Ltd.) arranges more of the logistics chain.

Key facts

• FOB term: The buyer handles ocean freight and container booking, while Hicey manages factory stuffing and local customs clearance.
• CIF/DDP term: Hicey coordinates the ocean freight and reefer container booking to the destination port or warehouse.
• Peak season constraints: Reefer space is limited and contested by other chilled cargo during peak shipping windows, so booking should be locked simultaneously with the production slot.
• Documentation: Complete stuffing logs and temperature records are provided to simplify customs clearance.

Operational guidance

Ice cream shipments require stable -18°C conditions throughout transit. Even when ocean freight is handled by the buyer's forwarder under FOB, early coordination of the reefer booking prevents port delays during high-demand seasons.
