Reefer trucking, qualified cold storage and timely delivery, with permits and customs coordinated, so frozen, chilled and temperature-sensitive cargo stays in range from port to store.
Typical Cargo
Common Challenges
Time in customs counts against shelf life. We plan release and pickup together, so the temperature clock is not wasted at the port.
Product permits and qualified cold storage both need to be in place before arrival. We secure both early, so cargo goes straight into the cold.
Records and data loggers matter when quality or insurance is questioned. We keep the temperature record with the shipment, so you can prove it stayed in range.
Who We Help

Common Questions
Requirements depend on the product, its tariff classification and the agencies that regulate it, which can include the FDA, the Bureau of Animal Industry and other food and health regulators. The Mills reviews the product and transaction first, maps the permits and clearances that apply, then prepares the documents and coordinates entry before the cargo ships.
Yes. The Mills is a Philippine customs broker that prepares and files the entry, coordinates examination and release, and keeps the documents consistent so temperature-sensitive and cold chain cargo shipments are cleared with fewer surprises at the port.
Before the cargo ships. Classification, permits and document mismatches are far cheaper to fix at the planning stage than after arrival, when storage and demurrage charges can already be running.
The Mills coordinates the permits and clearances that apply to your cargo, including those handled by the FDA, the Bureau of Animal Industry and other food and health regulators, depending on the product. Final requirements follow the current rules of each agency, so we confirm them against your actual shipment.
