We needed

Client was interested in a full range of logistics services (logistics outsourcing):

• Delivery of the vehicle to the sender’s warehouse;
• Loading and securing of goods;
• Customs clearance, including obtaining the necessary certificates;
• Delivery by road.

What we have done

Today, fertilizers in business processes are an integral part of the technological processes of growing plants, improving soil quality, protecting plants from pests, etc. With the help of fertilizers, the volume of agricultural production can be significantly increased, therefore, the transportation of this type of cargo is quite popular among our clients.

Transportation of fertilizers is a rather complex process that requires great attention to each stage of transportation and a professional approach to all details.

Storage, transportation and application of fertilizers for agriculture are carried out in accordance with the Rules for the carriage of dangerous goods by road.

The Corsel company provided its car for loading fertilizers at the sender’s warehouse. We paid special attention to the vehicle trailer – it was dry and clean. Also, according to the Transportation Rules, we selected a car with an awning in order to prevent dust formation.

The goods were loaded by the sender. The fertilizers were prepared in a packaged form, which made it easier for us to ensure a safe transportation process. In this case, our driver monitored the process of loading, fastening, as well as the distribution of the weight of the cargo on the axles of the car.

Our team took care of all the necessary documentation for customs clearance in advance. A European certificate – EUR-1 is required for the import of agricultural fertilizers into Ukraine. Corsel is a specialist in all the nuances of customs procedures, so all the accompanying documents were prepared in advance and in full compliance with customs regulations.

We assigned one of the most experienced drivers to the flight so that the cargo was transported at the correct speed. When transporting this type of cargo, it is very important that the cargo does not move in the vehicle on the way. The route we chose allowed us to deliver the cargo on time and reduce the customer’s costs.
