Cold Chain Technologies for Shipping

We employ various cold chain technologies to maintain product quality during transit:

Dry Ice: Keeps items frozen at -80°C for extended periods. Commonly used for pharmaceuticals, food, and hazardous goods.
Gel Packs: Ideal for pharmaceuticals needing storage at 2-8°C. Gel packs maintain internal temperatures even after melting. Eutectic plates, a reusable alternative, are also available.
Liquid Nitrogen: Maintains temperatures at -196°C, used for biological cargo. It's classified as a hazardous substance.
Quilts and Cold Blankets: These insulate shipments, protecting them from external temperature variations while maintaining constant internal temperatures.

How to Export Temperature-Controlled Food Samples with Cool Cargo UK

To export ambient, chilled, or frozen foods, it is crucial to follow the importing country’s regulations. Importers need to be registered with their tax authority and provide a VAT or tax code. Necessary documents include the importer’s details, customs codes, a health certificate from the exporting country, and a certificate of origin (if required).

Shipments may be detained by Port Health Authorities for inspection. This process can take up to 24 hours. A commercial invoice with appropriate HS codes and the goods’ value is needed for customs clearance.

To avoid delays, all export documents should be sent to Cool Cargo before shipping. We also provide packaging assistance to ensure your goods are properly packed for chilled, ambient, or frozen export.
