Shipping frozen products abroad presents logistical challenges. How do you keep your samples at the right temperature? What are the customs regulations for each country? And how do you avoid delays? In this blog post, you'll discover how to safely and quickly ship frozen samples worldwide using dry ice, worry-free.
Why dry ice is essential for international shipping of frozen products
Dry ice has a temperature of -78.5°C, making it ideal for keeping products frozen for extended periods. It evaporates without residue, making it safe for transport. A growing number of laboratories, food companies, and pharmaceutical manufacturers are relying on dry ice for their international shipments.
Which products are often shipped with dry ice?
- Food samples such as meat substitutes, cookies and chocolate
- Medical samples such as vaccines and blood samples
- Laboratory research: DNA samples, cell cultures and chemical components
What are the biggest challenges with international shipping on dry ice?
1: Customs formalities Many countries require special documentation for organic or food products.
2: Limited transit time. Too long in transit? Then the ice melts and you risk damage.
3: Labeling and Packaging Does your shipment meet IATA regulations for UN1845 (dry ice)?
