Shipping frozen and refrigerated products to the United States

Shipping frozen goods to America by sea or air is a highly specialized activity. Refrigerated shipments by sea or air involve technical, customs procedure, and operational issues. In refrigerated shipments, whether by air or sea, various issues intertwine and must be analyzed and resolved in harmony before the shipment departs to the United States. ExportUSA, the shipping company, and the U.S. customs broker work together to ensure smooth customs clearance even before the shipment leaves the country. Together, we prepare the import documentation for America, taking into account FDA compliance, U.S. customs procedures, and coordinating the activities for shipping and customs clearance.

In refrigerated food product shipments to the United States, it is essential to ensure that all customs procedures, permits, and authorizations required by U.S. customs, the FDA, and the USDA are respected from the start, so that the shipment does not encounter customs issues upon arrival in America.

Customs delays with refrigerated shipments to the United States mean high storage costs, fines from U.S. customs, and potential risks to maintaining the cold chain

UBV, ExportUSA's partner shipping experts, are the most experienced in the field of shipping to the United States, both by sea and by air, and particularly in the import and export of temperature-controlled goods with refrigerated ships and containers, including by air.

It is clear that for refrigerated shipments, fast and trouble-free customs clearance with U.S. customs is crucial. The U.S. customs broker that ExportUSA and UBV work with is the guarantee of a secure import procedure in America.

And this is for a simple reason: before the shipment departs for the United States, UBV and the U.S. customs broker review all the import documentation to ensure that once the container reaches U.S. customs, there will be no issues with importing into America.
