Temperature-controlled transport to the UK means carriage in chillers or freezers with an unbroken cold chain and temperature logging across the whole route. For food and products of animal origin, sanitary (SPS) controls and the relevant certificates required for import into the United Kingdom also apply.
What it covers
- Trailer choice: chiller or freezer to match the goods.
- An unbroken cold chain from loading to delivery.
- Temperature logging (device record) as proof of conditions.
- For food: SPS sanitary controls and certificates for GB import.
SPS (sanitary and phytosanitary controls) are the health requirements applied to imports of food and products of animal origin into the United Kingdom.
Temperature ranges are set individually to the product specification; this is general information, not legal advice. See services and customs clearance.
