by Sattar Singh SpiceXpress Air Cargo Services

Let us enlighten you with the fact that perishable goods were among the first commodities to be transported by air. The reason being these commodities get deteriorated when exposed to extreme temperature or humidity or left out over an extended period.

Cargo company

Many cargo companies across the globe provide the facility of freezers or cool rooms for storage. Not only this, the staff handling the shipment of perishable items are specially trained to take extra precautions.

The check-points before you go for perishable cargo services in any corner of the world.

➢ Acceptance conditions for perishable cargo
➢ Decide on the packaging requirements for some specific commodities.
➢ Storage facilities
➢ Take care of marking and labeling

Perishable items that are generally considered by the cargo companies are fresh cut flowers, live plants, dairy products, fruits & vegetables, fish, live animals, hatching eggs, confectionery, meat, serum, vaccines, and other perishable food items.

The key points the perishable cargo service provider should take care of are:

➢ Carefully handling the perishable products to retain its quality and freshness.
➢ The special training should be given to the team handling perishable cargo.
➢ Priority loading should be done on the booked flights.
➢ There should be a temperature-controlled storage facility at airports.
➢ The flight booking has to be confirmed.
➢ The insurance facility has to be provided by the Cargo services.
➢ The quality checks need to be conducted while boarding the products.
➢ GPS-enabled mobile app for real-time location updates — online tracking apps

In today’s global commercial situation, even vaccines or serums experience the journey of a thousand miles before it cures the patients. Any tampering or harm caused to the vaccines or medicines can result in life and death situations.
