Fresh and premium food products don’t have time to wait at the border. Delays reduce shelf life, increase waste and put customer relationships at risk.
C4 Logistics helps food and drink businesses move goods across the UK and Europe with specialist customs brokerage, temperature-controlled transport and complete visibility from collection to delivery, whether goods travel within Europe or arrive from further afield.
We work with food manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, distributors and retailers, supporting everything from fresh produce and chilled goods to premium continental food and drink.
Our promise is simple. We get the documentation right first time, protect the cold chain, and keep your goods moving
Food and drink supply chains rely on speed, accuracy and compliance. Delays at the border don’t just affect delivery dates. They reduce shelf life, increase waste and put customer relationships at risk.
Fresh and chilled products need reliable transport and fast border clearance. We coordinate customs brokerage and temperature-controlled logistics to minimise delays, protect the cold chain and help maintain product quality throughout the journey.
Food and drink imports often require more than a standard customs declaration. Our specialists manage sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) documentation, Import of Products, Animals, Food and Feed System (IPAFFS) submissions, commodity classification and customs declarations, helping goods move efficiently across the border.
From collection through to customs clearance and delivery, you have one point of contact managing the entire movement. If an issue arises at the border, we work directly with customs authorities to resolve it quickly and keep your goods moving.
