Turkey – United Kingdom Refrigerated Transport
Since Brexit, the UK is a large market requiring customs procedures separate from the EU; Turkish fresh and frozen food is in high demand there.
On the United Kingdom routes we plan the vehicle and temperature according to the type of product. Frozen goods travel at -18 °C or below, meat and dairy products at 0 °C / +4 °C, and fresh fruit and vegetables with product-specific temperature and ventilation settings.
