When the food cargo reaches the destination country, if these reports, which are requested in accordance with the customs regulations of the country in question, are sent together with the product, the customs clearance procedures may become simpler.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF FOOD CARGO
Another point to be considered during food cargo is to determine the temperature at which the cargo will be sent. In food products, it may be necessary to keep the product at the right temperature or, in some cases, to keep this temperature stable.

In order to preserve the freshness of the products during the shipment of some foods by cargo, there is a need for a special mode of transportation that will keep the products at the right temperature and ensure that the product reaches its destination in the most appropriate environment. To meet this need, there are alternatives such as refrigerated airplanes or freezing products and using temperature-controlled containers.

A wide range of products are shipped and shipped under refrigeration, including fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh or frozen meats, poultry, seafood, dairy products, eggs, fresh juices, frozen concentrates, live plants and flowers.

SHIPPING FOOD ABROAD
We said that there are steps to be followed in order to ship food abroad. We also underlined that the most important of these steps is the protection of products. Now, when we want to ship food abroad, we will look for the answer to the question of how the products are protected.

A protective packaging is a must to prevent any damage that may occur during the shipping of food abroad.

There is a wide variety of packaging options available, from robust packaging and shrink wrap for sensitive foods to industry-specific packaging in the form of blue tinting liners for fish products.

FOOD CARGO PACKAGING

The most important issue in food cargo shipments is that the food reaches its destination without being damaged (crushed or rotting). For this, the food cargo must be packaged correctly.

Today, wooden cases or boxes, corrugated non-corrugated cardboard boxes, mesh sacks, plastic crates and polyethylene bags, viols are the materials used in the packaging process in different sizes and shapes compared to vegetable and fruit types. It is necessary to choose the most suitable material for vegetable and fruit shipments.

If bottles are involved in the shipping phase of liquid foods, it would be best to use parcels divided into sections.

During the loading and transportation of perishable materials, it is necessary to pay attention to the points such as using durable packages, being careful not to be crushed when placing them in the area to be transported, placing them in watertight containers and maintaining appropriate temperatures. In addition, cargoes that require special temperatures must have step details on the parcel. There are also solutions such as special protective and thermal blankets for otherwise perishable cargo.

IMPORTANCE OF FOOD CARGO TRACKING

After the product leaves the warehouse, you can watch your products wherever you are, prepare for any delays or relax by learning that your products are delivered on time.

HOW TO SEND MEAT WITH FOOD CARGO?

Food cargo becomes even more important when it comes to meat cargo. It is the most difficult type of cargo to send food that can spoil easily and produce bacteria. In addition to fresh meat products, frozen meat products can be transported by air cargo, and frozen food cargo is often used in the process of sending meat by cargo.

With frozen food cargo, sensitive products such as seafood or processed food can also be sent to any point in the world without any problems. Frozen food cargoes are often carefully preserved in deep-freeze warehouses.

There are important details that need to be considered when sending meat by cargo. An active temperature control method is required in the process of sending meat by cargo. It is the most important issue to keep the meat cargo at a certain temperature in order to prevent it from spoiling from the moment it is sent to the moment it is delivered. When sending meat by cargo, meat should always be transported at the right temperature to prevent rapid bacterial growth.

The temperature for fresh meat should be between 0 and +5.
For frozen meats, the temperature should be below -12 degrees.
If it is necessary to reach these degrees when sending meat by cargo, dry ice may need to be placed on the meat, IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations should be taken into account when determining the amount of dry ice.

When shipping meat by cargo, coolers can also be used to keep the cargo cold during transportation.

SENDING FRUIT ABROAD

Sending fruit abroad is one of the important parts of the international food shipping process. In order not to be the subject of news such as “3 tons of oranges sent back from x countries”, which we hear frequently, it is necessary to strictly comply with the rules when sending fruit abroad. The temperature of the transported vegetables should not be below the specified standards. Heat values ​​that do not comply with the standard increase the loss rate. For this reason, the transportation process should be carried out as soon as possible while the fruits that need to be transported at the most suitable temperature are sent abroad. For this reason, it will be in their own interest for individuals or institutions that want to send fruit abroad to prefer air cargo.

SHIPPING OLIVE OIL ABROAD

Persons or institutions that want to send olive oil abroad must make sure that the appropriate conditions are met. The suitable travel temperature of olive oil is 15 degrees.

If you are sending olive oil bottles while sending olive oil abroad and you are planning to send it using standard courier services, it is enough to make sure that you package such things correctly. By choosing the right packaging materials and fixing the bottles well, you can prevent any damage to the bottles during the shipping phase.

For this, you must first find the right bottles, wrap the bottles for maximum protection, put these wrapped bottles in a small cardboard box, using cardboard dividers and separating the bottles from each other. Use additional cushioning material to fill any remaining empty spaces and seal the box. Place the smaller box in a slightly larger box. Put a sealed tiny box into a slightly larger box. Fill any empty space with cushioning materials, then fasten the boxes together and seal them with tape.

SENDING BEVERAGES ABROAD

Sending beverages in the form of wine, raki or fruit juice abroad also varies according to the legislation of the sending country. Due to the sensitivity of alcoholic beverages to external factors and the alcohol’s own characteristics, all alcohol transportation rules such as special packaging, labeling and maintaining a certain temperature level must be strictly followed. Non-compliance or improper compliance with alcohol logistics requirements will result in product damage and loss of consumer properties. In order to prevent damage to alcohol products and loss of goods, it is necessary to maintain a certain temperature, observe the humidity in the vehicle, test the quality of the label and, naturally, use product warehouses for safe excise tax. Since alcohol is contained in sensitive glass bottles, special safety precautions must be taken when transporting it. In addition, the export and import of alcohol is subject to strict requirements under the product legislation, naturally with excise duty. In particular, special labels must be attached to packages containing alcohol products.
