Brussels Airport opens two new border inspection posts for perishables goods




Two additional border inspection posts for the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain at the refrigerated warehouses of DSV-Panalpina Adelantex and Kuehne+Nagel at Brussels Airport are now operational. This will ensure smooth and efficient transport and inspection of perishable goods. In addition, the Perishable Management App has also been renewed, which makes it possible to share documents and certificates digitally and to monitor the inspection.

The cargo strategy of Brussels Airport focusses on four main areas for which it also offers stateof-the art infrastructure: pharmaceuticals, live animals, e-commerce and perishables. Tonnes of flowers, plants and food items are imported and exported via the airport. The bulk of perishables passing through the airport are roses from Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia and Ecuador, tropical fruit such as pineapples, mangoes and berries, and nuts and secondly a wide variety of vegetables from West Africa and fish and meat from Canada and the United States.
