Yes. Regulations for shipping perishable goods change according to the mode of shipment selected.  - Via Air: Air is usually the best option for shipping perishables simply because it's the fastest. If perishables are shipped via air freight, they must comply with the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) perishable cargo rules. The IATA manual has detailed listings and rules for numerous perishable items, with advice on how to build a safe and robust cold chain operation.  - Via Ground (Highway or rail): Freight should comply with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Sanitation & Transport Guidance. The FDA lays detailed guidelines for shippers on reducing the risk of damage and contamination for perishables, including chain of custody and record-keeping procedures.  - Via Sea: All maritime shippers should ensure that their cargo complies with relevant regulations from the International Maritime Organization.  - Employees will also need to check any additional restrictions that freight carriers like USPS, FedEx, UPS might put out for perishable shipments.
