The Work Specifications for Management of Transport Documentation for Bulk Road Transportation of Key Liquid Foods is formulated to standardize delivery, loading, unloading, and transportation activities for bulk road transport of designated liquid food products, strengthen record management throughout the transport chain, and ensure food safety traceability. The Specification applies to shippers, carriers, and receivers involved in bulk road transportation of designated key liquid foods and establishes a unified transport documentation system covering delivery, transport, and receipt processes.
More specifically, the document defines responsibilities for shippers, carriers, and receivers regarding verification procedures, transport qualification checks, transport container management, seal verification, cleaning records, transport records, and document retention. Shippers must prepare transport forms and conduct dispatch inspections, carriers must ensure compliant transport operations and maintain transport records, and receivers must verify delivered goods and maintain traceable records. The document also establishes requirements for document archiving, two-year record retention periods, electronic transport documentation systems, and full-chain information sharing to strengthen food safety supervision and traceability.
