Expertise, Reliability and Local Presence
Managing the import of Italian food products into the United Kingdom requires precision, compliance and a clear understanding of how post-Brexit logistics work.
Fresh Ways Logistics Ltd is a UK-based company specialising in temperature-controlled warehousing, food distribution and customs assistance providing a local, reliable link between Italian exporters and British buyers.
A Changing Regulatory Context
In recent months, new veterinary and customs regulations have reshaped the landscape for food imports into the UK. Following confirmed cases of Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) in parts of Europe — first in Italy and France and later in Spain — the UK authorities have tightened import controls for products of bovine origin.
For importers and exporters alike, this means:
Additional documentation and veterinary certificates;
Closer scrutiny of goods at Border Control Posts (BCPs);
The need for experienced, locally-based partners who can manage compliance efficiently.
Our Operational Base in Kent
To provide an efficient and responsive service, Fresh Ways Logistics Ltd operates a logistics and customs warehouse in Kent, authorised as a Border Control Post (BCP) and equipped to manage inspections, storage, and internal logistics activities.
Our Kent hub is strategically located to serve London, the Midlands and the South-East of England, ensuring quick access to major distribution routes and retail platforms.
By managing stock directly in the UK, we help businesses reduce international transport frequency, simplify customs procedures and ensure faster, more flexible deliveries to local buyers.
Integrated Logistics for Italian Food Products
We specialise in complete food logistics solutions, combining warehousing, refrigerated transport and customs assistance in one coordinated process:
Cold storage logistics – frozen, chilled and ambient facilities designed for Italian food products;
Refrigerated transport – from Italy to the UK hub and from the warehouse to final recipients;
Customs advisory services – in partnership with EORI (UK) Ltd, managing all required documentation and inspection procedures;
Value-added services – food relabelling, repackaging, quality checks, returns management, and cross-docking;
Digital visibility – through Omnia, our online platform giving clients access to real-time shipment tracking and logistics documentation.
This integrated approach provides operational control, full traceability, and simplified day-to-day management for those working with UK food imports.

Adapting to the Post-Brexit Supply Chain
Since Brexit, logistics between Italy and the United Kingdom has become increasingly technical involving new paperwork, veterinary checks and border procedures.
At Fresh Ways Logistics Ltd, we transform this complexity into a structured process: our team ensures that every shipment, document and temperature record is handled precisely and transparently.
Our goal is to make Italian food logistics in the UK simpler, safer and more efficient, supporting both sides of the supply chain from Italian producers to British retailers and food service operators.
