Freight Solutions for Food and Beverage

We manage phytosanitary certificates for plant-based products, health certificates for animal-origin food products, IPAFFS pre-notifications for UK imports, and any product-specific documentation required by the destination market's food safety authority. For EU imports, we coordinate with the relevant border inspection post. Documentation requirements vary by product type and origin country. We advise on the complete requirement for your specific product at quote stage.

Yes. We arrange reefer container sea freight and cold chain air freight for frozen, chilled, and temperature-sensitive food products. This includes reefer containers set at the correct temperature, pre-cooling before loading, remote temperature monitoring during sea transit, and cold store coordination at the destination port. We select carriers with dedicated cold chain handling facilities rather than treating frozen cargo as general freight.

Some food products from certain origins are subject to enhanced controls by UK and EU authorities, meaning a higher percentage of shipments are physically inspected and sampled. We identify the enhanced control status for your product type and origin at quote stage so you can build the additional border processing time into your delivery schedule. We also advise on pre-shipment testing options that can help demonstrate compliance before the goods arrive at the border.
