According to EU guidelines, all import containers with fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, and plant-based products (containers with plant or animal cargo, as well as various HRL food products) must be approved at the outer borders of Europe by various inspection services. We facilitate these inspection services with three own checkpoints in Rotterdam, one of which is a checkpoint for non-human products. With many years of experience and qualified staff the inspections are professionally carried out and handled with care.
Check, check, double check
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) is a part of the government, which, among other things, supervises food safety procedures and is present during the working/checking hours of our checkpoints. The approved goods can then be shipped to their final destination or stored in one of our cold store facilities.
Ensuring safe food products. Your safety, our priority.
