Common Challenges in Choosing a 3PL for Seafood Importers

Seafood importers operate in one of the most logistically complex and regulated industries. Between cold chain integrity, U.S. customs and FDA regulations, short shelf life, and quality concerns, importers face razor-thin margins and high stakes.

At Buske, we understand these industry-specific challenges and offer 3PL solutions that directly address them. Here's how we help seafood importers overcome the most common obstacles:

Cold Chain Breakage

Even a brief temperature fluctuation can spoil product and trigger costly recalls. Our cold storage and refrigerated transportation ensure strict temperature compliance from port to delivery.

Customs & FDA Clearance Delays

Missing documentation, improper classification, or failed inspections can delay product release. We work with customs brokers to ensure fast and compliant entry.

Inventory Inaccuracy & Shrinkage

Without real-time lot tracking and FIFO management, seafood importers risk spoilage and stock losses. Our WMS provides full traceability and inventory control.

Short Shelf Life & Expedited Distribution Needs

Speed is critical. Our port-proximate warehouses and same-day shipping capabilities help seafood importers reduce time-to-market.

Complex Labeling & Food Safety Requirements

Products must meet strict labeling laws, traceability regulations, and third-party audits (e.g., HACCP, GFSI). We support compliance every step of the way.
