Logistics for pharmaceuticals and medical technology – Lufthansa Cargo as an exhibitor at FlyPharma at Vienna Airport
The trade fair and conference for pharmaceutical transportation by air, FlyPharma, will once again be held at Vienna Airport from 23-24 October 2024. This year, Lufthansa Cargo will once again be on hand as a specialist in the highly sensitive transportation of pharmaceutical products with its own cargo aircraft or in the belly holds of Lufthansa Group's passenger aircraft. At a joint booth with Swiss WorldCargo, the company is presenting its many years of expertise and the associated product portfolio for pharmaceutical transports, as well as the latest offers and flexible solutions for the transport of sensitive freight. Another important focus during the trade fair is on the dense worldwide route network of the logistics expert, which extends to over 350 destinations in 100 countries. In addition to the hubs in Frankfurt and Munich, Vienna Airport also plays an important role in the carrier's route network, enabling it to maintain important supply chains even during unforeseen global events.

CB Customs Broker provides transparency with automated T1 transit documents for eCommerce shipments
Digital customs clearance expert CB Customs Broker is expanding its eCommerce product range to include the T1 transit procedure. This enables the automatic generation of T1 documents in which the individual items are listed in detail.
The T1 procedure enables the duty and tax-free transportation of non-EU goods through the EU. Customs clearance only takes place at the destination. For large-volume eCommerce shipments, it was previously not possible to automatically transmit shipment details to customs on an individual parcel level. This meant that T1 documents often only contained one single blanket item such as “eCommerce goods”, which is insufficient for customs authorities.
With CB Customs Broker's new solution, up to 999 individual items can now be automatically listed at the required level of detail on a T1 document. This product enhancement gives online traders from third countries more flexibility: they can access additional flight capacities and are no longer dependent on direct flights to a specific EU country. At the same time, the customs authorities gain the necessary transparency regarding the import of eCommerce goods that are transported to neighboring EU countries. Lufthansa Cargo is now regularly transporting eCommerce goods arriving in Frankfurt to the Netherlands using the new T1 solution.
