żywność z długim terminem ważności do spożycia (No. 7538092)

Food transport is one of the categories that has the most strict standards concerning storage and shipping. The main reason is the possibility of food getting rotten if stored and transported improperly. The possible transport provider has to keep the norms of storage and shipping food so as to prevent the cargo from spoiling and in consequence getting damaged irreversibly. The transport provider is also required to get necessary permissions stating that he is qualified to securely transport agriculture products as well as has needed devices. Among the main reasons food shipment has such strict norms is the diversity of the category – in “Food” section you will find: meat, dairy, frozen products, vegetable products, liquids, cereals and many others. Most of these requires individual storing and transporting environment, e.g. specific temperature or humidity. Transport providers that are thinking of transporting food must keep the delivery date, due to the often short expiration dates of the load. They also have to ensure that the cargo is secured well and protected from weather conditions. In addition a transport provider who is willing to transport food products, should acquire proper permissions from Food Standard Agency.

Price of food shipping

Cost of food transportation differs terribly, since the section is very varied. Similarly to the most loads, the price of shipping depends on the dimensions and weight of the cargo as well as route length as well as whether the route crosses any borders. Still with food transportation we can discern additional price-defining factor: whether your load requires specific conditions for the transport. Consequently if you have to transport a cargo that needs to be kept in certain temperature or humidity, it’s best to be prepared to pay higher price than you would while transporting for example furniture of similar weight and dimensions.
