FAQS

Steri treatment is a phytosanitary requirement for certain export markets (like the USA) that mandates products be held at specific temperatures for a set period to kill potential pests. CCH has DALRRD-certified steri tunnels to meet these requirements.
We are fully integrated with TITAN for real-time export documentation, scheduling, and compliance. This ensures seamless coordination with government inspection and export clearance processes.
Yes. We provide container pre-loading, pallet preparation, temperature control, and load documentation optimised for fast turnaround at ports and final shipment.
