Door to door.
Cold chain freight demands more than a reefer container — it requires planning, carrier selection, MPI compliance, and precise handling at every handover point. Freight Direct manages temperature-sensitive cargo by air and sea, from booking through to cleared delivery.
We handle fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, dairy, seafood, and biological materials — all with in-house customs brokers managing the regulated import pathway.

Reefer Container Booking
We book refrigerated 20ft and 40ft containers with set-point temperature management. Pre-trip inspections coordinated with origin agents, and temperature logs available on arrival.
Air Freight Cold Chain
Temperature-controlled air freight on approved cold-chain airlines. Dry ice and gel pack solutions. Cargo transported in approved shipper-owned containers (SOCs) where required.
MPI & Biosecurity Compliance
Cold chain food imports are heavily regulated at the NZ border. We manage MPI entry, product registration, and biosecurity requirements for all regulated food categories.
Pharmaceutical Logistics
GDP-compliant transport and handling. Temperature excursion reporting, chain-of-custody documentation, and import licencing support for controlled substances.
Port & Airport Handling
Priority container handling at Auckland port, early gate-in coordination, and rapid clearance to minimise the time your cold cargo spends outside temperature control.
Cold Storage
We can arrange short-term refrigerated storage at our partner cold store facilities in Auckland, connected to our customs clearance and delivery operations.
