Frequently Asked Questions

What documentation is required for importing dairy products?

For low-risk products, only a pre-notification in IPAFFS is required whereas, medium-risk products require an export health certificate and pre-notification in IPAFFS. Rest assured that we check your dairy shipments are fully compliant with all necessary documentation requirements, streamlining the process to avoid any delays.

What is classed as a low or medium-risk dairy product?

Low-risk products are typically shelf-stable items, such as whey protein, chocolate, and honey. Medium-risk products, on the other hand, require temperature control during transit and include raw milk, cheese, yoghurt, ice cream, and eggs. You can find the full list of products and risk categories here. We help you navigate these categories, ensuring your dairy products are correctly classified, and provide guidance on any special handling or regulatory requirements.

How is temperature monitored during dairy shipments?

Temperature is carefully monitored using devices like data loggers or GPS-enabled tracking systems that provide real-time temperature data, ensuring products remain within safe ranges throughout the transit process. We equip your dairy shipments with advanced temperature monitoring tools, ensuring they are transported at the proper temperature whether by air, sea, or road. This guarantees your products arrive in optimal condition and fully compliant with regulatory standards.
