Cargo Shipping: How to Ship Perishables

Shipping perishables to destinations across the world can be a tricky task if you don’t choose the right cargo shipping company. You want to make sure the shipping provider you choose has the necessary resources and technology at their disposal to keep your perishables at the ideal temperature all the way until they reach market.

Amerijet, a leader in the cargo shipping industry, has been shipping perishables internationally for 30 years. Amerijet’s main hub in Miami offers an array of climate controlled shipping options to help your fishes, meats, produce, and other spoilable goods reach their destination as fresh as possible. It is important to remember however, when shipping perishables you should always pack your shipments to withstand 48-72 hours of transit time even when shipping to countries with shorter distances. This means using leak-proof containers, ice packs, and moisture resistant tape among other things.

The first thing you should know is what temperature your perishables need to be stored at. The Amerijet main hub offers a range of frozen, refrigerated, or chilled storage options. Choosing the right temperature is key to preserving the product.

You also want to use the fastest shipping methods available to get your perishables to their destination as quickly as possible. Amerijet offers express air cargo shipping options as well as inland shipping by truck (U.S. only—available by request in other countries) to get your goods to market overnight.

Sipping perishables can be an easy, stress-free experience with the right cargo shipping company. Let Amerijet help you preserve your goods.
