Forwarding

Our dedicated forwarding team ensures seamless communication with shipping lines, their agents, and local authorities such as customs and the Food Administration. We have carefully designed procedures to align perfectly with our customers' requirements and needs.

ID Partners expertly handles the transport of your refrigerated containers, including fruit, vegetables, and other perishable goods, with quality and safety as top priorities. We transport reefer cargo from the ports of Antwerp, Rotterdam, or Vlissingen directly to our temperature-controlled warehouses in Merksem or to any final destination of your choice within Europe.

If your containers require scanning or physical inspection, ID Partners manages the entire process, easing the burden on you to help save both time and costs.

If you run into any problems, we are here to help.

Phytosanitary Inspection

Many products must undergo inspection by the FASFC (Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain) before they can be imported. We coordinate the inspection with the FASFC and provide on-site assistance during the process. With our team present at each inspection, we can respond immediately to any issues that may arise, ensuring a smooth and efficient import process.

Veterinary Control

Like fruit and vegetables, fish and meat products must be inspected before they can be imported. We coordinate the inspection with the FASFC and provide on-site assistance during the process.

Our cold storage facilities are officially approved by the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC) to perform both phytosanitary and veterinary controls. This certification underscores our commitment to ensuring the highest standards of food safety, quality, and regulatory compliance in all our operations.

Key benefits of forwarding

A well-managed forwarding department in a logistics service provider, especially in the food sector dealing with fresh fruit, offers numerous advantages that are crucial for success.

  • Handling international shipments involves complex documentation and regulatory requirements. Our logistic officers ensure all paperwork is accurate and compliant, reducing delays and penalties for customers.

  • A strong forwarding department monitors shipments in real-time and quickly addresses disruptions such as delays or route changes, ensuring minimal impact on your supply chain.
