Temperatures by product
Each product has a temperature that keeps its quality and shelf life, and a mistake of two or three degrees can spoil a whole load. We set the temperature with the shipper before loading and write it into the shipping order.
| Product | Usual temperature | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Vegetables and fruit | 2 to 8 ยฐC | Airflow between pallets, ethylene producers kept apart |
| Fresh dates and rutab | 0 to 5 ยฐC | Packed dried dates usually ship without cooling |
| Dairy, cheese and chilled meat | 0 to 4 ยฐC | Cooling not broken at inspection |
| Frozen meat, poultry and fish | โ18 ยฐC or lower | Loaded fully frozen from the store |
| Chilled medicines and vaccines | 2 to 8 ยฐC | Logger and deviation alarm |
| Controlled room-temperature medicines | 15 to 25 ยฐC | Protected from summer heat on the road |
| Chocolate and cosmetics | 15 to 18 ยฐC | Melt in an ordinary truck in summer |
โ ๏ธ Heat on the road to Jordan
In summer the temperature inside a closed ordinary truck box can exceed 50 ยฐC in Najd and the north โ enough to spoil medicines, chocolate and cosmetics even if they look fine outside. Do not ship these in an unrefrigerated truck in summer.
The cold chain from warehouse to recipient
A cold chain usually breaks at its weakest link: loading, waiting at the border, or unloading in Jordan. So we watch every link.
| Link | What we do |
|---|---|
| Before loading | The box is cooled to the set temperature before its door opens |
| Loading | From a cold store or shaded dock, door closed at once |
| Stacking | Gaps for airflow, cooling vents never blocked |
| Logging | A logger reads every few minutes from the moment of closing |
| At the border | The door opens for inspection as briefly as possible, unit running |
| Delivery | The temperature report is read before unloading and signed by the recipient |
๐ก Have goods chilled at the warehouse
A refrigerated truck holds temperature; it does not quickly cool warm goods. Load products already at their set temperature โ the truck is designed to keep cold, not create it from scratch.
Common cold-shipping mistakes
Packing food and medicines for the road
| Product | Packing |
|---|---|
| Dates and dairy | Strong cartons with ventilation holes, on plastic pallets |
| Frozen meat | Sealed cartons, fully frozen before loading |
| Vaccines and medicines | Insulated boxes inside the chilled truck, away from the doors |
| Cosmetics | Original cartons, stacked so they are not crushed |
Food and medicine documents
| Shipment | Documents | Authority in Jordan |
|---|---|---|
| Food | Invoice, certificate of origin, health certificate, clear production and expiry dates | Jordan Food and Drug Administration |
| Meat and poultry | As above plus halal slaughter and veterinary certificates | JFDA and the Ministry of Agriculture |
| Medicines and cosmetics | Invoice, certificate of analysis and the importerโs import licence | Jordan Food and Drug Administration |
| Personal medicines for a patient | Prescription and a personal-use quantity | Declared at the border |
Approvals are obtained by the Jordanian importer before the truck arrives. A refrigerated truck waiting for approval at the border burns its fuel and its goodsโ shelf life together.
Ordinary items that need no cooling
Not everything sent to Jordan needs cooling. Clothes, books, tools, gifts and packed dried dates travel in an ordinary closed truck for less:
| What you send | From |
|---|---|
| Carton up to 5 kg | SAR 36 |
| Carton up to 20 kg | SAR 82 |
| Weight over 20 kg to the same address | SAR 4.1 per kg |
| Travel bag up to 30 kg | SAR 99 |
| Packed dates box | SAR 129 |
| Commercial goods | SAR 730 per cubic metre |
| Air freight | SAR 55 per kg |
