Category 3 animal by-products (CAT. 3) include: animal meal, processed protein, meat and offal, fats, fish oil, egg products, gelatin, and animal feed. All these products must be transported in compliance with strict sanitary and veterinary regulations.

Transport of Category 3 (CAT. 3) requires specialized handling due to strict sanitary and veterinary requirements. Our company operates in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011, which govern the transport of animal by-products. Equally crucial is thorough cleaning and disinfection of vehicles to ensure the safety of transported goods.

The Category 3 products we most frequently transport include animal meal, oils, and meat. Our fleet is adapted to different types of goods. For animal meal, we provide curtain siders, tippers, walking floors, and silos. For oils, we use tankers, and for meat transport, we have refrigerated trailers that fully comply with Category 3 transport requirements.

Our company ensures safety in the transport of Category 3 goods from the very first contact. We provide appropriate vehicles that comply with Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011. At every stage of transport, we maintain detailed documentation and report progress. This way, our clients do not have to worry about complications during potential veterinary inspections.

Transport with GMP+ certification ensures the highest standards of safety and quality, particularly important when transporting animal feed, grains, and plant-based raw materials. GMP+ certification guarantees that all logistics processes – from loading to delivery – comply with international standards. With GMP+, you can be sure that transported goods are free from contamination, increasing the security of the supply chain.

Goods transported under GMP+ certification mainly include feed materials, feed additives, and finished animal nutrition products. They may also include ingredients used in food production that require strict sanitary and quality control. For a product to be considered compliant with GMP+, every stage of the supply chain must meet GMP+ standards.

Transport under GMP+ and Category 3 (KAT. 3) products is more expensive for several reasons. Vehicles must undergo regular disinfection and be adapted to strict sanitary requirements. The GMP+ certification process also requires training, audits, and frequent inspections. In addition, carriers cannot mix these products with others, which limits revenue opportunities. Choosing GMP+ or KAT. 3 transport is an investment in safety and high-quality service, which naturally involves additional costs.
