Streamlined Cross-Border Cold Chain

Americold’s import/export solutions transform how temperature-sensitive products move across borders. Our strategically located import/export hubs, value-added services, and exclusive port and rail partnerships streamline global food flows, reducing delays, touches, and temperature risk. 

By bringing inspections, bonded storage, blast freezing, labeling, and consolidation inside maritime and rail port facilities, we accelerate delivery, improve regulatory compliance, and protect product integrity. 

Our cross-border solutions are tailored to scale for global brands and growing importers and exporters. We help our customers bring food to new markets with less complexity and greater confidence.
