Food & Beverage Logistics FAQ

Common questions about food & beverage shipping and customs.

Requirements vary by product type and origin country, but typically include health certificates, phytosanitary certificates, IPAFFS pre-notification, commercial invoices, and packing lists. Products of animal origin (POAO) have additional requirements. Gxpresss handles all documentation for you.

We use temperature-controlled containers, vehicles, and storage to maintain the cold chain from origin to your premises. Continuous temperature monitoring and rapid customs clearance minimise transit time to preserve freshness and shelf life.

Products of animal origin (meat, dairy, fish), certain plant products, and high-risk foods from specific countries require DEFRA/Port Health inspection. Gxpresss pre-notifies the authorities and coordinates inspections to avoid delays.

Yes, we handle organic food imports including management of the Certificate of Inspection (COI) through the TRACES system, ensuring your organic products maintain their certification status through the import process.
