Correctly assess and minimize transport risks

The dangers and risks involved in transportation are often underestimated. Stress-resistant transport packaging protects industrial goods during worldwide transport and ensures that they arrive at the customer's premises on time and reliably. Corrosion in particular is one of the most common causes of damage. Exporters must also comply with numerous regulations. For export packaging, the regulations for the packaging wood used (ISPM15/IPPC) are of great importance in this regard. The regulations for the transport of goods classified as dangerous are not easy to handle. In the event of transport damage, the question quickly arises as to who has to bear the transport risk and is liable for the transport damage. Our experts provide you with recognition, assessment and decision-making criteria in relation to transport risks.
