Cold Storage Coordination: Should extended storage be necessary, we coordinate with certified cold storage facilities to maintain the correct temperatures and preserve product quality.

Quick Turnaround Time: We prioritize the customs clearance of frozen goods to minimize the risk of spoilage, coordinating with authorities to expedite inspections and approvals.
