Our Department of Agriculture (DoA) accredited Customs Brokers provide support and assistance for all food and perishable imports and exports:
Historically, due to strict import trade barriers, the export of fresh milk into China was not a feasible business model. Stringent controls by China on dairy products meant milk remained in quarantine for 14 – 21 days, thereby reducing the product’s shelf life and viability.
For our clients from this industry, we undertook extensive research and completed trials to meet specific cold chain requirements and industry standards. These trials produced successful results that satisfied the relevant food authorities in both Australia and China, which allowed the fast tracking of the import clearance process.
We handle and control the seamless cold chain and supply all necessary data and documentation. As part of our quality control procedures, we perform sample testing in various conditions and obtain quarantine approval in China.
As a result, we can now move Australian fresh milk to China from producer to end consumer in as little as five to seven days and the export of fresh milk has become a viable business for our dairy customers.
