Frozen IQF Boneless Skinless Chicken Thigh — Export to South Korea

Marythur Food Exports supplies premium frozen IQF boneless skinless chicken thighs from Brazil to food processors, distributors, and HORECA buyers across South Korea. Our chicken thighs are sourced from federally-inspected (SIF) facilities operated by BRF, SEARA, and COOPAVEL — Brazil’s leading poultry processors with established export credentials to the Korean market.

Product Overview

Each boneless skinless chicken thigh is individually quick frozen (IQF) to ensure easy portioning, minimal drip loss upon thawing, and consistent piece-to-piece quality. The IQF process preserves freshness immediately after deboning and trimming, making these thighs ideal for Korean food service applications including fried chicken (chikin), dakgalbi, jjimdak, tteokbokki with chicken, and ready-meal manufacturing for convenience stores. Pieces average 200–300g and are packed in convenient 2 kg inner bags within 10 kg or 15 kg master cartons.

Why Brazilian Chicken for South Korea?

Brazil is one of South Korea’s primary sources of imported chicken, with a strong trade relationship built on quality, food safety, and competitive pricing. Brazilian processing plants operate under the Federal Inspection Service (SIF), a system that Korea’s Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency (APQA) has reviewed for export eligibility. Korean buyers benefit from Brazil’s massive production scale, year-round supply consistency, and product specifications that align well with Korean portion preferences and culinary applications.

Quality & Food Safety

All chicken thighs destined for South Korea undergo rigorous quality control including antibiotic residue testing, microbiological screening (Salmonella, Listeria), and physical inspection. Processing plants maintain HACCP certification and comply with Korea’s food safety standards including MFDS Maximum Residue Limits. Every lot is fully traceable from farm to finished product, with digital records available upon request.

Logistics & Shipping to South Korea

Shipments depart from Santos or Paranaguá in 40ft reefer containers maintained at -18°C. Transit to the Port of Busan averages 32–37 days. Containers are GPS-monitored with continuous temperature data logging. Each 40ft reefer accommodates approximately 27 metric tons on standard pallets. Busan’s efficient port operations ensure rapid customs clearance and inland distribution.

Documentation & Korean Import Compliance

Marythur handles the complete documentation package: SIF health certificate (Certificado Sanitário Internacional), certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. We coordinate with APQA Animal Quarantine requirements and ensure all documentation meets MFDS import standards. Korean-language product labeling can be arranged. HALAL certification from FAMBRAS/CDIAL is available when required by the buyer.

Packaging Options

Standard packaging: IQF pieces in 2 kg poly bags, packed in 10 kg or 15 kg master cartons. We offer private labeling, custom carton printing, and alternative packaging configurations (e.g., 1 kg retail packs) for buyers distributing to Korean retail, convenience store, or food service channels.
