Common problems with the transport of goods and dual-military, solutions

Import-export activities related to dual goods, military, transportation of dangerous goods, has always been associated with certain difficulties concerning logistics. Most cars spend months at customs or detained in the territory of Ukraine from a desire to gain petty officials, the dual interpretation of their purpose, non-compliance with the requirements for transportation and other factors that have a direct or indirect relationship to the sender, the consignee, the carrier and the state. Let’s look at the roots of the main problems.

What prevents the TPC easy to transport and TVN in Ukraine and abroad?

General Procedure for transportation, typology of dual-use goods and other nuances of regulated documents from 2004, but there are increased safety rules in the last few years that enable regulatory authorities to exercise pressure on the carriers and shippers. There are also inconsistencies in the Ukrainian and European norms. They are not always identical, and bring the legal framework into line authorities are in no hurry.

Many of the problems associated with the general classification of the TPC. Under the concept of suitable equipment, parts, raw materials, suitable for the creation of different weapons. In fact, even potassium nitrate at the discretion of the supervisory authority can be attributed to the TDN. If this happens, it loads a long “hang” because you have to seek from the TTP or DSEKU conclusion, according to which the material, its technical characteristics is not TDN.

Often there is confusion between logisticians and customers – a cargo of military or dual-use items declared wrong or one of the parties tries to cut costs and reduce the complexity of operations by obtaining permits for cargo transportation across Ukraine is technically “civilian” goods which can easily be interpreted as the TDN. Even more difficult is the case, if the load is obviously dangerous: the rules established by MDAs do not contain the list of goods and materials, so the list is used in Chapter 3.2 of ADR, where, for example, acetylene, commonly used for gas welding works. As you can see, avoid the dual interpretation difficult.

Fuel to the fire adds state. Mininfrastruktury successful reports about 42 million hryvnia fines collected from carriers for overweight transport by the end of this year. “Ukrzaliznytsia” announces the increase of tariffs for cargo transportation with 2107 by 25%. All the factors point to a rise in the cost of transport services regardless of the method of transportation. Logically, shippers have a few options for an inexpensive and hassle-free delivery.

How safe and inexpensive to transport goods and dual-military?

Many business representatives believe that all problems can be solved by finding a small, neizbalovannogo large contracts a company that will do all inexpensive. It should be understood that the smaller players in the market do not have any experience or sufficient material and technical base, so working with them is often out sideways.

Another way – to do their own logistics. This is a good option, because you have complete control over all aspects of trucking. But afford fleet maintenance and salaries of the team of professionals are only the largest manufacturers and importers. Economic feasibility is also questionable venture.

The most correct way out of the situation – to appeal to the Ukrainian pilot Logistics company, which has a constant load and works mainly on long-term contracts with shippers. A striking example – GC “Neolit Logistics”. The group of companies known in the market since 2003, provides all kinds of transportation and logistics services, including transport and TDN TVN different transport: road, rail, sea, air. Also in the “Neolit Logistics” arsenal there are experts on foreign trade, customs brokerage, survey, insurance, warehousing, etc.
