The intrinsic nature of food and beverages makes them 'high-care' products, demanding strict logistical controls.
Core Trait: Most have a finite and strictly enforced shelf life. The journey from production to end-consumer requires meticulous time management across the entire supply chain.
Sensitivity: Highly vulnerable to temperature, humidity and light. Any deviati
Given these characteristics, the following are critical for international food and beverage shipments
End-to-End Cold Chain Integrity
Rigorous Compliance & Customs Clearance
Robust & Professional Packaging
Transit Time Sensitivity
Insurance
Primary Challenge: Maintaining an unbroken temperature-controlled chain across all stages (warehouse, truck, port, vessel/aircraft, etc.). A single failure can ruin the entire shipment. Monitoring: Using temperature data loggers is crucial to provide a verifiable record of conditions throughout the journey, serving as proof of integrity for claims if needed.
