For a frozen pallet refused at the ramp, the burden of proof lies with the refusing buyer unless the state of the goods is properly established. Under Article 226 of the Turkish Code of Obligations, where the seller has no representative the buyer takes the necessary steps to protect the goods for the time being and cannot send them back without doing so; the buyer has their state established without delay, or otherwise must prove the defect existed when the goods arrived.
If you want that reserve sized before the vehicle pulls out, our page on frozen carriage without a reefer works through the equipment and the arithmetic behind it.
For frozen product, Communiqué 2015/34 describes the measuring procedure: at unloading, samples come from at least four of five critical points, the probe and piercing tool are pre-cooled, the instrument is accurate to ±0.5 °C with a calibration certificate, and the reading is taken once the value is stable. The communiqué is for official control, but in a disputed file it is the clearest standard for a measurement record to rely on.
If the goods may spoil quickly, the buyer may have them sold through the court and is liable for loss if the seller is told late. The logger's air record, the probe measurement, the raw file and the delivery record are kept together.
