Reefer Cargo

FROZEN meat, Fish (reefer cargo) : Israel Ministry of Health requires a data log prior approving release of cargo, only cargo which has mandatory requirement by Ministry of health will be allowed to receive a data log via clearance agent which will be directly submitted to Ministry of Health at a charge of USD 50 per download. In order to prevent data log malfunctioning, it is highly recommended to perform strict PTI in the origin, regardless of container's age. This will assist to prevent delays of the shipment in release. Reefer Container related to several tpdocs with various consignees is not acceptable due to the fact that no facilities for unstuffing reefers are available Cargo receivers who demand data log and not by requirement of Ministry of Health and/or other government institutions that prevents cargo clearance will not be able to receive data log unless such has been paid by shipper initially. In case any further info required kindly contact:
