Perishable & Express Air

Perishable & Express Air Cargo Clearance

Cold-chain and time-critical air cargo cleared the moment it lands at LAX. For produce, flowers, seafood, and pharmaceuticals that cannot wait.

Perishable cargo has no patience for paperwork. Every hour a temperature-sensitive shipment sits at the airport is spoilage risk and lost value. We clear perishable and express air cargo at LAX fast, with the FDA and USDA requirements handled in advance so nothing stalls at the counter.

Built for Cold Chain

  • Produce and flowers that lose value by the hour.
  • Seafood and meat under USDA and FDA oversight.
  • Pharmaceuticals and other temperature-controlled goods.

Agency Requirements, Handled Early

Most perishable delays are partner-agency delays. We file FDA prior notice and handle any USDA requirements before your shipment arrives so the clearance is not waiting on paperwork when the plane lands.

Speed to the Cold Room

Once cleared, we move your shipment quickly from the LAX cargo facility to your cold storage or distribution point, protecting the cold chain all the way.
