What to consider when shipping internationally?

The transport of goods involves several well-established processes, but when it comes to the international transport of fresh food, it also implies compliance with a series of rigorous standards that guarantee the preservation of the quality and safety of products.

Because of the previous, it is important to use guidelines and take all the necessary safety measures to reduce risk.

 Temperature matters

It is important to maintain the corresponding temperatures during the entire cold chain to keep good quality. In some fruits, one or two degrees more/ less can make a big difference in the quality of the cargo upon arrival.

Sometimes, even if the temperature guidelines are followed correctly, there are external variables that affect the temperature of the cargo. Therefore, it is recommended to use OTFLOW. This reefer floor cover keeps the temperature more stable across the entire container, reducing the risk for the cargo.
