Shanghai warehousing

Food and Beverage Warehousing in China

Assess imported food and beverage storage around shelf life, product conditions and destination requirements. Confirm category acceptance and the import route before sending stock.

Separate the food storage requirements

A food bonded warehouse assessment in China needs the specific product and its required conditions. Shelf-stable beverages, frozen products and foods with short shelf life need different handling plans. Provide manufacturer specifications instead of using the broad category name as a temperature instruction.

Make shelf life part of the stock rules

List manufacture and expiry dates, batch references and the minimum remaining shelf life expected by each buyer. Define how stock near its release threshold is flagged. Agree whether the picking rule is first-expiry-first-out and how any customer-specific batch restriction is applied.

Connect product acceptance to the import route

Provide ingredients, origin, producer information, proposed classification and intended sales route. For overseas food producers, check the applicable registration requirements against the current official process. Cold-storage availability does not establish a product’s permission to enter China or the acceptance of a particular food category.

Prepare receiving and dispatch instructions

Explain packaging, pallet dimensions, permitted stacking and the handling of leaks or damaged cartons. Supply the arrival condition and the temperature specification throughout unloading and delivery where required. TAPO assesses acceptance, storage and contracted coordination before a shipment is booked.

Questions before shipment

Is every food product accepted in the frozen facilities?

No. Submit the actual product and handling specifications. Product acceptance, the import route and available storage are assessed separately.

Which food documents should I send first?

Product identity, origin and producer details, ingredients where relevant, batch/expiry information and the proposed import and sales route.
