Customs Challenges | Fresh Food
Ensuring a smooth supply chain when handling fresh food requires a high level of attention to detail and know-how. The short durability of fresh food represents one of the biggest challenges here, as it requires customs formalities to be handled quickly and effectively to avoid delays.
Another challenge is temperature control, since fresh products must be transported at the correct temperature to preserve its quality and prevent it from spoiling.
Regulatory requirements are another important aspect when it comes to the handling of customs services for fresh food, as there are specific regulations that must be followed to ensure consumer protection.
Finally, exact logistical planning is needed to coordinate the transportation of fresh food and maintain a smooth supply chain.
