Pharmaceuticals

The manufacture, distribution, and sale of pharmaceutical products is heavily regulated, and the transport of these products is often subject to specific requirements. Moreover, even small shipments can have values of USD $1 million. The most common cause of loss is temperature abuse, followed by theft.

Pharmaceutical recoveries are highly complex. Detailed knowledge of the relevant rules and regulations, including the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations enforced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is needed to to demonstrate what reasons a particular drug cannot be accepted by a consignee, and how a carrier is liable for loss.

J.V. Watts & Co have proven time and time again that they are both highly knowledgeable and successful at these types of complex recoveries.
