Drayage for Candle and Home Fragrance Imports
Candles, wax melts, diffusers, and home fragrance products imported through PortMiami face a unique challenge: Miami’s tropical heat. Wax products can melt or deform in containers exposed to high temperatures, making fast container drayage essential.
Temperature Sensitivity
Soy wax melts at 120-180°F; paraffin at 130-150°F. Container interiors at PortMiami can exceed 140°F in summer sun. A few hours of terminal exposure can ruin an entire container of candles — melting, warping, and destroying labels. Expedited pickup and climate-aware handling are critical.
Seasonal Import Patterns
Candle imports spike July through October as retailers stock for holiday season — the biggest candle-selling period. This coincides with Miami’s hottest months, making temperature management even more challenging. Pre-booking your drayage ensures fast pickup.
