is the senders telephone number not on the CMR ? If it is ring them and ask themcargohandbook.com/index.php/Tomatoes
Optimum carrying temperature
12°C to 15°C (mature green)
10°C to 12°C (turning)
8°C to 10°C (ripe)it would seem there are a number of options.
8 deg C is once again a little on the low side for ripe, big risk of spoiling them at this temp. A safe temp for tomatoes if no temp has been set for them is 10 deg c. You will not spoil them set at this.
Just trying to give the man some simple information to help him do his job . Info taken from a website that is well used by the shipping industry therefore is good info and not guestmates . Always better to get it straight from the people sending the stuff . I’m sure any expert on the subject would agree .
