Certification of the Atlanta branch in the US marks a further milestone in DACHSER’s expansion of its global network for its Life Science & Healthcare Business Field Solution. In late 2018, DACHSER obtained the Center of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV Pharma) certification from IATA for its Frankfurt airport branch, followed by its Indian branches in Mumbai and Hyderabad in mid-2019.

Our locations in Germany, India, and the US enable us to serve our customers in the life science and healthcare sectors in the key regions around the world. This certification demonstrates that we fulfil the highest service and quality standards through uniform processes and a compliant network. In turn, our customers benefit from secure, compliant, and efficient air freight services.

Timo Stroh, Head of Global Air Freight at DACHSER

As an industry standard, the IATA certification fulfils the specific requirements of shippers of pharmaceutical products with regard to secure, compliant, and efficient air-freight services. CEIV Pharma certification attests that the company’s handling of pharmaceutical products meets and even exceeds international global standards and guidelines.

DACHSER meets and exceeds international standards and guidelines

These include European Union and World Health Organization Good Distribution Practices (GDP), United States Pharmacopeia standards, and IATA temperature control regulations. The certification process entailed internal and external training, a review of procedures for handling temperature-controlled life science and healthcare shipments, and an extensive assessment of these complex processes by two separate independent auditors.

Sea Freight | United Kingdom – Strike at port Felixstowe

Announcement of a strike at Felixstowe, one of the largest ports in the UK.

After the union and the Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company were unable to reach an agreement regarding the union's tariff, more than 1,900 union members will strike from Sunday,  August 21 until Monday, August 29.

Felixstowe handles almost half of the UK's container traffic, and this action is expected to impact supply chains, logistics operations, haulage operations, and international maritime trade.

All other UK ports as well as Northern and Western European ports, will most likely experience congestion, resulting in bottlenecks in port operation and delays.

At this stage, the full impact of these actions cannot be predicted. However, it is recommended to place bookings as early as possible and to be flexible with haulage and routings.

If you have any questions, please contact your usual DACHSER representative for more information about your shipment.

Brexit: From January 31, 2020 with a transition period

Britain will leave the European Union on January 31, 2020. According to the current circumstances, nothing will change in goods traffic between the countries of the European Union and Great Britain until the end of this year.

After that, a free trade agreement between the EU countries and Great Britain should come into force. However, it is still unclear whether such a free trade agreement can be negotiated and approved by the end of the year.

The Brexit checklist (see below) therefore still provides an overview of the necessary preparatory measures. If you have any questions, please contact your responsible contact person at the respective DACHSER branch.
