Ever since its first shipment in 1978, the transportation of steel has been a significant aspect of NOSTA Group's business. But how does the company manage the challenges of international steel transport? A new case study highlights two key issues in transatlantic long steel shipments: secure transportation and the complex customs clearance process from Europe to the US. The study also provides recommendations for steel companies.
Challenge 1: Transport security - Everything in perfect order
In addition to detailed preparation and planning, precise security measures are necessary to prevent damage. Exports of long stainless steel products, where shape and surface have to remain flawless, are particularly challenging. The case study describes the measures taken by the NOSTA Group team to ensure smooth transport.
Challenge 2: Customs clearance procedures - the key to seamless imports
Customs clearance of steel products into the US is complex and time consuming. Among other things, steel quotas play a key role here, regulating the volume of imports into the US very precisely. The case study shows how close cooperation between steel producers and NOSTA Group became a recipe for success in this financially critical issue.
Partnership and communication: four recommendations for success
The key to success with these challenges was transparent communication at eye level between the customer and NOSTA Group. The combination of expertise, communication and effective security measures makes it possible to master the challenges of international steel logistics.
Steel companies and producers can benefit from this experience and further optimize their own transport operations. The case study contains four key recommendations that companies should take to heart when working with logistics partners.
