High-capacity dairy coolers are typically shipped as FCL (Full Container Load) cargo using standard 20- or 40ft refrigerated containers. Exceptionally large or oddly shaped coolers may require OOG (Out of Gauge) shipment with special handling. Breakbulk shipment is a less likely option for coolers exceeding standard container dimensions.
Information regarding shipments to and from the UK is available from Shipping International.

Proper packaging is crucial. Coolers should be secured within the container using appropriate bracing and padding (e.g., wood blocking, dunnage, bubble wrap). Refrigerant handling must comply with all relevant regulations.
Accurate and complete documentation is essential to avoid delays. Necessary documents typically include commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and any import/export permits or licenses specific to dairy equipment.
Cargo insurance protects against loss or damage during transit. The responsibility for insurance can vary depending on the Incoterms agreed upon by the shipper and the consignee. Different coverage options are available.
