What are the best practices for handling perishable goods in import logistics?
Importing perishable goods such as food, flowers, or pharmaceuticals can be a challenging and risky process that requires careful planning, coordination, and compliance. Perishable goods have a limited shelf life and are sensitive to temperature, humidity, and handling conditions. Any delay, damage, or deviation from the optimal environment can result in spoilage, loss of quality, or health hazards. Therefore, importers of perishable goods need to follow some best practices to ensure the safety, freshness, and profitability of their products.
