Produce Logistics and Customs

Santos International provides the best solutions for importing fresh produce. We understand that the reputation of manufacturers of fresh produce depends on the extent to which they are able to retain the freshness of their products. Getting caught up with market grade requirements can delay the shipment of novice suppliers. Even veteran suppliers may be caught unaware of the newly introduced changes made by the FDA of which we are fully apprised. We take it upon ourselves to keep our clients updated with the latest regulations and developments concerned with their areas of service.
