Perishable Cargo FAQs

What are the Perishable Cargo Regulations (PCR)?

The Perishable Cargo Regulations (PCR) are guidelines and standards established by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). They provide detailed instructions on the safe and efficient handling, packaging, and transportation of perishable goods, especially by air. These regulations ensure that perishable items are transported under controlled conditions to maintain their quality and safety throughout the journey.

Which mode of transport is best for carrying perishable goods?

The choice of transport for carrying perishable goods depends on factors like distance, product type, and delivery speed. Generally, air freight shipping is preferred for perishables due to its speed and ability to maintain precise temperature control. For shorter distances, road transport with refrigerated trucks can be suitable. Sea freight is also used for certain goods depending on their shelf life, although it is slower and requires specialised containers and equipment that will remain at a constant temperature.

What are cold chain logistics?

Cold chain logistics is a specialised supply chain management process that focuses on maintaining a consistent and controlled temperature environment throughout perishable goods’ handling, storage, and transportation. This process includes refrigeration, temperature monitoring, and quality control measures to ensure that perishable goods remain in optimal condition from their origin to their final destination.

What is required to export perishable goods?

Exporting perishable goods involves several steps and requirements:

Quality Assurance: Ensure the perishable goods meet the quality standards and regulations of both the exporting and importing countries.
Packaging: Use appropriate packaging materials to protect the goods during transit, including temperature-controlled containers if needed.
Documentation and Customs Compliance: Prepare all necessary export documents, including certificates of origin, phytosanitary certificates (for plant products), and customs declarations. Comply with customs regulations and ensure proper labelling and documentation for customs clearance.
Temperature Control: Implement measures to maintain the desired climate conditions for the specific perishable items.
Transport: Choose a reliable mode of transportation that meets the product’s needs, such as refrigerated trucks, sea freight, or air cargo freight
Destination Regulations: Familiarise yourself with the import regulations and requirements of the destination country.
Logistics Partner: Consider partnering with a logistics provider like SLG, experienced in handling perishable exports, to ensure smooth and safe transportation.
