Shipping Modular Frozen Dairy Crates: A Guide

UK Origin and Destination

Cargo:

Modular Frozen Dairy Crates

Shipping Method:

Primarily FCL (Full Container Load) in refrigerated containers (reefers). Breakbulk is considered only for exceptionally large crates or small quantities.

Key Considerations:

Container Type:

Refrigerated container (reefer) maintaining -18°C to -25°C.

Out of Gauge (OOG) Cargo:

Crate dimensions are assessed for standard reefer fit. OOG cargo may require special handling and increased costs.

Weight & Volume:

Accurate weight and volume are crucial for efficient loading and cost estimation.

Packaging:

Crates require adequate transit protection; pallet use is recommended.

Documentation:

Accurate documentation is essential, including commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, phytosanitary certificates (if applicable), import/export licenses (as required), and other customs documentation. Confirm country-specific customs regulations.

Temperature Monitoring:

Continuous temperature monitoring is vital. Data loggers within the reefer container record temperatures, providing a report upon arrival. Reefer settings maintain -18°C to -25°C.

Insurance:

Cargo insurance is recommended for loss or damage protection.

Emergency Procedures:

Shipping International provides 24/7 emergency contact information for equipment malfunction or delays.
